Program details
Overview
Danse (506.A0) is a two-year preuniversity DEC at Cégep de Sherbrooke, admitting students in the fall, focused on refining artistic sensitivity, creativity, and mastery of movement. Students discover and practise several dance techniques named on the program page, including contemporary dance, modern jazz, and classical dance, alongside additional styles such as urban dance, hip hop, Broadway-style dance, and lyrical dance. Admission requires successfully passing an audition, with a video-audition option available for late admission. The program page also notes that Danse can be combined with another preuniversity program, such as Sciences de la nature, Sciences humaines, or Arts, lettres et communication, as part of a separate double-DEC option leading to two diplomas, though this record reflects the standalone Danse program rather than one of those combined pathways. It suits students who are fascinated by dance and the performing arts, physically active and fit, ready to commit to regular training, and eager to learn and master multiple dance styles, typically as a foundation for further studies or a career in dance performance, teaching, or related creative fields.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Beyond the Cégep's general admission conditions (a DES carrying the required units in language of instruction, second language and mathematics — with levelling activities due by the end of the first or second session for students short on those units, or an equivalent formation including studies completed outside Quebec), this pre-university programme's own page requires applicants to pass a dance audition ('Réussir l'audition'). For late admissions to Fall 2026, this takes the form of a video audition, with details sent to candidates after registration. No named academic course prerequisite beyond the general conditions, language test score, minimum GPA, or portfolio submission is published for this programme.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM), which also covers cégeps outside the Montreal region: Winter 2027 entry opens 15 September 2026, with a round-one deadline of 1 November 2026 and a round-two deadline of 25 November 2026; Fall 2027 entry follows SRAM's recurring round-one deadline of 1 March 2027, though the cégep's site has not yet posted a dated row for that cycle (its Fall 2026 table is marked as closed). International applicants follow a separate SRAM timeline, confirmed directly on the cégep's site: Fall 2027 applications run from 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027, and Winter 2028 applications run from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Admission is not open-ended rolling, but SRAM runs successive rounds for as long as places remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
