What am I able to do I after I graduate? CCDC aims to be a key element in the regional dance scene. Thus, we do not only train professional contemporary dancers, we also support them in their artistic paths by providing opportunities to join projects or residencies in Egypt and abroad, putting them in contact with dancers and choreographers during their study period and after, but also by offering space to create, rehearse and continue practice, and occasionally employment. At present, five of our first-generation alumni are teaching at the center and many of them are following their own artistic path, whether through performing, teaching or in starting to create new works, always in close collaboration with the center.
