The Professional Dance Programme – África Guzmán Dance Project provides dancers with the necessary bridge between their academic training and the professional world. Aiming for artistic excellence and within a rigorously professional environment, the dancer is provided with a complete advanced level of training through classes, workshops and performances with the company África Guzmán Dance Project.
AGDP is the opportunity for students to discover the reality of the profession, working directly with choreographers, performing on stage and covering a wide repertoire of different styles and thus developing their artistic identity and stage skills.
The Professional Dance Programme – Africa Guzman Dance Project addresses the needs of dancers from the age of 17 producing versatile dancers who have experienced a wide range of technical skills. Throughout the year, dancers will have guest teachers and workshops with choreographers that offer dancers an artistic openness and make them adaptable to diverse and new proposals.
AGDP’s diverse programming presents a wide range of repertoire and styles, encompassing classical ballet, neoclassical, contemporary and new avant-garde works. The purpose is to enable young dancers to work with choreographers and thus approach a varied repertoire representative of today’s professional dance community.
AGDP provides a complete training for the dancer that enables them to acquire the level of technical and artistic ability expected by today’s professional choreographers and companies.
In addition, AGDP makes it easier for you to enter the professional world by preparing you for auditions and giving you individual advice. Once the complete training has been completed, the dancer will be able to obtain video and photographic material.
The AGDP professional programme runs from September to June and lasts for one academic year, with the possibility of three more years depending on the evolution, potential and development of the student. In the morning time table, in an exclusive environment, it provides you with personalised attention and work.
