In our years of professional experience, we have noticed that the step that is missing for the complete formation of a dancer is to learn the “trade”, to really know how to work in a company. For this reason, we have decided to give future professional dancers the opportunity to become part of a Professional Dance Company, and that this will serve as a platform for promoting their career.
caraBdanza Professional Training Program aims to develop the student’s artistic abilities related to dance, musicality and movement and to achieve a level that allows them to embark on a professional career in the field of dance.
It consists of three blocks, the first two intended to provide the dance training necessary for each student to reach the professional level that allows them to develop an artistic career. The third works in the same way that a young company, the students (admitted through audition), will work with caraBdanza during their rehearsals, and will be part of the Company’s projects in the same way as the professional dancers that integrate it.
The set has the purpose of projecting future dancers within the framework of professional dance, accrediting both their technical and professional training during their stay with the company. We are very proud of our dancers who have continued their professional life after passing through caraB.
