How to apply

To be considered for an ART of Madrid 2027 Scholarship, the complete scholarship application must be received before the published deadline.

Please submit:

• the fully completed ART of Madrid application form

• one portrait photograph

• two dance photographs in dance attire

• a link to your audition video

• a motivation letter

• the EUR 40 application fee

Your motivation letter should briefly explain your artistic background, your current training, your goals as a dancer, why you would like to participate in ART of Madrid and why you are applying for a scholarship.

All documents should clearly include the applicant’s full name.

If scholarship materials are sent separately from the online application, please use the subject:

Scholarship Application · ART of Madrid 2027 · [Applicant Name]

and send them to:

madrid@art-of.net

or

contact@art-of.net

Incomplete scholarship applications may not be considered.

Audition video requirements

The audition video should be approximately 5–10 minutes long.

The dancer’s full body should remain clearly visible throughout the exercises and variation.

The video should include:

• barre work

• centre practice

• a short classical or contemporary variation

• pointe work for female applicants applying at an appropriate advanced or pre-professional level

Professional filming is not required. The purpose of the video is to allow the ART of selection team to assess the dancer’s current technical and artistic level clearly.

The video may be submitted as a private or unlisted online link. Please make sure that the link remains accessible during the scholarship selection period.

Application fee

A EUR 40 application fee must be received as part of the scholarship application process.

Payment may be made by bank transfer or via PayPal to:

madrid@art-of.net

Any bank, transaction or PayPal charges must be covered by the applicant so that ART of receives the application fee in full.

The application fee is separate from course tuition, is not covered by a scholarship and is non-refundable in accordance with the current Terms and Conditions.

Scholarship application deadline

For scholarship consideration, the complete application, required photographs, audition video, motivation letter and EUR 40 application fee must be received by ART of no later than:

1 March 2027

Applications received after this date may still be considered for regular admission where places remain available, but will normally no longer be eligible for scholarship consideration.

Applicants are therefore encouraged to prepare and submit their scholarship application sufficiently in advance of the deadline.

Selection and scholarship decision

Scholarship applications are assessed on the basis of the complete submitted material.

The selection considers the dancer’s:

• current technical level

• artistic potential

• musicality and coordination

• quality and clarity of movement

• motivation and commitment

• suitability for the level and artistic profile of ART of Madrid

Scholarship decisions are made separately from general admission.

Successful applicants will receive written confirmation from ART of specifying the scholarship awarded and, in the case of a partial scholarship, the remaining tuition amount to be paid.

A scholarship is valid only after written confirmation from ART of.

Important

A scholarship application does not guarantee admission to ART of Madrid, and admission to the programme does not guarantee a scholarship.

The number of scholarships is limited. Decisions of the scholarship selection process are final.
