It operates under the Ministry of Education, and is the only independent university or university college of higher education for dance in Sweden.

The University of Dance and Circus was previously known as the University College of Dance (''Danshögskolan''). Its current name was adopted on January 1, 2010. ==Circus programme== Attendance at the circus school is awarded on the basis of live auditions held in Stockholm, with tests of physical strength, flexibility, endurance and theatrical skill. In addition each applicant is required to give a demonstration of their own performance specialty. The program, headed by Ivar Heckscher, trains students in acrobatics, equilibristics, aerial technique, and juggling.〔http://www.danshogskolan.se/dh/english/programme_in_neo_circus.html〕 In addition, each student receives advanced training in at least one discipline. The neocircus program includes theoretical studies to complement each student's personal artistic development. Until 2007 no Americans had ever been accepted into the neocircus program. In June 2007, American juggler Wes Peden became one of 16 students chosen from 68 candidates, who were culled from 200 applicants.〔http://www.airplayjugglers.com/peden2sweden.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Dance and Circus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
