Classical Ballet School with the Vaganova Method
Professional Training with a Precise Methodology
At our classical ballet school, we apply one of the most effective methods: the Vaganova Method. This technique is renowned for its precision, attention to detail, and emphasis on the coordination of arms and legs. Thanks to this methodology, our students achieve comprehensive control of their bodies, allowing their artistic expression to flow naturally in every performance.
The Importance of the Vaganova Method in Classical Ballet
The Vaganova Method not only enhances a dancer’s technique but also strengthens endurance, flexibility, and muscle control. Its main advantages include:
- Refinement of posture and body alignment.
- Progressive exercises that enable gradual development of strength and balance.
- Precise coordination of arm and leg movements.
- Artistic expression nurtured from the very beginning of training.
Scenario as part of Vocational Training
The Dancer is Trained on Stage
For this reason, we have our own Ballet Company. Students have the opportunity to participate in a minimum of eight performances per year, allowing them to gain real stage experience and build their confidence in front of an audience.
Paid Internships and Dual Training
To ensure comprehensive training, final-year students preparing to become dancers or teachers participate in paid internships. This dual training guarantees that learning is not only theoretical but also practical.
- Social Security registration for final-year students.
- Employment contracts for performances or teaching internships at Fame Factory.
- Official registration in their work history, strengthening the student’s professional experience.
Private Degree and Certification.
Our school awards a private degree endorsed by Fame Factory and its teaching team. Additionally, students have the opportunity to obtain internationally renowned certifications such as the Royal Academy of Dance.
Final Evaluation for Certification
To ensure excellence in training, each student must pass:
- Practical and theoretical exams in each dance and classical ballet discipline.
- A theoretical evaluation on anatomy applied to dance.
- A pedagogy exam, essential for those wishing to train as teachers.
