Performances and Workshops
It is a much anticipated event giving the students an extra boost and an opportunity to show off their skills. Our students gain confidence, learn about teamwork but above all make wonderful memories. Being backstage in a theatre is a very special feeling. The older dancers help the younger students with make up and warm ups. There is a wonderful atmosphere of sharing and community as older students pass on costumes to our younger members and older students share dance paraphernalia. The teachers are also very actively involved back stage and in front of house giving up their generous time to deliver a professional show. Guest artists are also invited to participate. This is a wonderful moment for students to learn from professionals in the industry. It is an enriching experience and gives the students a standard to aspire to. Our students have also had the opportunity of dancing in Jerez Spain on several occasions including the prestigious Teatro Vilamarta home to the Flamenco festival Our dancers have performed at the Stuttgart Theatre House as part of the Stuttgart Flamenco festival and the Gable theatre and the Blumsbury Theatre London.
PERFORMANCES & WORKSHOPS
Working on Professional Development
To complement our students weekly classes we offer students the possibility of joining intensive courses and workshops with international guest teachers allowing our students to focus intensely on work and choreography that they would not normally cover in class. We also recommend international summer schools and assist students with associate programmes with world renowned performing institutions. Some Guest teachers who have visited the school over the years include the late Bryony Brind and Steven Beagly, the late José de Udaeta, Juan Polvillo, Victoria Ramos, Miguel Ángel Espino, Ángel Muñoz, Virginia Domínguez, Inmaculada Ortega, Alicia Márquez, Cristian Lozano, José Manuel Buzón Ruiz, Tamara López, Cristina Ortega and examiners of the SDS and Cecchetti Society.
