Empower Your Dance Studio with Erasmus+: Join 'Sport and Skills' Training in France

Dance is more than just movement—it’s a powerful tool for education, inclusion, and social change. If you run a dance studio or work with dancers, have you ever considered how you could expand your impact beyond dance classes? The Erasmus+ programme offers funding opportunities that can help your dance school grow internationally, collaborate with partners across Europe, and create life-changing projects for young people.

One such opportunity is the 'Sport and Skills: Driving Social Change, Creating Opportunities through Erasmus+' training course, taking place from June 24-27, 2025, in Nantes, France. This event is designed to help organizations—especially those in sports, education, and inclusion—understand how to successfully apply for Erasmus+ projects and use movement-based activities, including dance, as a tool for social impact.

Why Should Dance Studios Apply?

As a dance professional, you are already using movement to inspire, connect, and educate. But what if you could:

• Expand your dance school’s reach internationally by partnering with European organizations?
• Secure Erasmus+ funding to organize dance-based youth mobility projects?
• Use dance as a tool for inclusion, helping young people from diverse backgrounds express themselves and build confidence?
• Learn how to write successful KA1 and KA2 project proposals, ensuring financial support for your studio’s international activities?
  

This Erasmus+ training course will introduce you to these possibilities and help you position your dance school as an active player in international cooperation.
