The SNDO, School for New Dance Development (School voor Nieuwe Dansontwikkeling in Dutch), is a full time 4-Year professional education course that leads to the diploma Bachelor of Arts. The school educates students to become choreographers/dance makers enabling them to contribute to the development of dance as an art form. Dance is seen here as making artistic statements with the body in time and space. Choreography is seen as the making of dance, the choreographer being the author of the dance performance.
