The State Ballet Institute was founded in 1950 by the cultural government. Initially, in accordance with its name, it only trained classical ballet dancers, which was occasionally complemented with groups to (further) train pedagogues of folkdance or modern ballroom dances. 20 years had passed until (in 1970) folk dance training became acknowledged as a new specialization. It took nearly the same time to the first college level programs for training choreographers and theoreticians were opened and the training of dance pedagogues became organized and systematic (1998). Reacting to the challenges of the 21st century, the teaching of modern dance is becoming increasingly important (since 2006 it has been an individual specialization within dance artist training). By 2018 theatre dance has become a specialization besides the dancer and coach training program within the artist training as well. Further options of programmes within the dancer and coach training are modern ballroom dances and fashion dance.
