Danceemum Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Does anyone know of any classical dance schools for age 16+ in Spain that offer training and career prospects of an equivalent level to the main schools in the UK? I have googled but found nothing so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeliB Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 DS has a friend at Kirov who came from Real Conservatorio Profesional de Danza Mariemma in Madrid don't have any other details though- sorry....One thing you could do is look through the recent Prix de Lausanne prizewinners for clues- eg I had a quick trawl and in 2012 there was a spanish girl Sonia Vinograd- if you then google her you find she attended Espagne Institut del Teatre de Barcelona, Conservatori Professional de Dansa. A bit laborious but if no-one else knows it might be a last resort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfbrew Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Also look at the profiles of Luca and Helenita the 2 Spanish Dancers on Ballettheatreuk.com. They both seem to have trained in Madrid at different schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The Victor Ullate school in Madrid is where Tamara Rojo trained, and then went on to dance with the company, if that helps! http://www.victorullateballet.com/index5fbd.html?ids=290 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The Spanish dancers at ENB (you can look at their mini-bios on the company's website) all seem to have done their later training abroad. Esteban Berlanga (he's on Wikipedia), who left ENB in the summer to join Compania Nacional de Dansa, does seem to have done all his training in Spain, though. It's also worth looking at the mini-bios for any Spanish dancers (I'm sure that there are some) at BRB and Northern Ballet. Possibly because of the relative lack of classical ballet companies in Spain many Spanish dancers complete their training and go to work abroad.

Danceemum Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thank you - some good ideas here! None of them seem comparable to our UK schools, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
