Main Program (12-18)
Description
The Main Program is organized into 6 dance levels and is aimed at students aged 12 to 18. It is a hybrid program that consists of intensive high-level dance practice associated with general secondary education within
at a partner school, the Athénée Charles Rogier, located a short distance from the Mosa Ballet School.
Each student at Mosa follows, in parallel with their dance course, a school course that will allow them to obtain a secondary school diploma. The schedules are adapted for the dancers, allowing them to reconcile two demanding courses.
Students over 16 may choose, under strict conditions,
to follow alternative secondary education
• Students must already have a solid academic foundation and must continue their studies. Specifically, these students must first have completed Year 4 of secondary school (typically, students aged 15-16 years). For students currently enrolled at Mosa, eligible students are those completing Year 4 of secondary school and those currently enrolled
at Belgian secondary school system in Years 5 or 6. Incoming students for 2025-2026 must check equivalence on the government portal (www.equivalences.cfwb.be). Our team can help where necessary.
• Students must be enrolled in a full-time school program, which must either lead to the baccalaureate or be equivalent to a full year of higher/post-secondary education.
• Students must demonstrate their commitment and motivation to their academic studies by submitting their report cards and proof of attendance. Please be aware that enrolment without real commitment can lead to exclusion from Mosa.
• Students must observe the same academic schedule as those who attend classes at
at Belgian secondary school system
, i.e. study in the Mosa classrooms from 8.10 am to 12.30 pm.
Additionally, for logistical and security reasons, any student wishing to enroll in an external school program must be at least 16 years of age on the 31st December immediately following the start of the school year. For students under 18 years of age we must have prior written consent of their parents and/or legal guardians.
Finally, students will be required to take compulsory French lessons if they do not have at least a B1 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The tuition fee includes 1 hour of French lessons per week. Additional courses will be offered at a charge.
A typical weekday starts with compulsory courses
at Belgian secondary school system
in the morning, followed by a lunch break back at Mosa. Afternoons are dedicated to dance.
Core subjects include classical ballet, pointe technique/male technique, repertoire, and pas de deux. Associated subjects include contemporary dance, improvisation, character dance, ancient dances, art history and dance history, music, and dance anatomy. Finally, yoga, Pilates, and tai chi sessions contribute to our students’ overall well-being

It is therefore intended for students who are not enrolled in a full-time academic curriculum during the day, in order to allow for optimal commitment to artistic training.

- Exchange opportunities with junior companies, other ballet schools, as well as with Belgian Bachelor's and Master's students.
- Confirmed guest teachers for 2025–2026: Yannick Boquin, Wim Broeckx (more names to be announced).
- Personalized coaching on creating an effective CV and preparing for the professional world.
- Participation in our social program "Quand on Danse": an opportunity to explore the positive impact of dance on vulnerable populations and society as a whole.
