Welcome to the Palucca School Dresden

where a rich 80 year "tradition of innovation" and "history of change" are the hallmarks.

With the aim to nurture creativity and individual responsibility from the youngest age, the philosophy runs from the dance programmes through to the teacher and choreographer training programmes. Currently in the process of developing a "Palucca School Syllabus" with an integrated concept for "applied movement sciences", this will provide the study plan for all of our programmes. The goal being to provide a means to one end: an integrated interdisciplinary education for autonomous thinking artists.
