Performing arts: teaching students to live and succeed on the stage.
There are countless schools that teach students to move and act on the stage, and even to engage with the public. However, only a few manage to place students on the path to success and fame.
"With dance, ballet and acting, the same question comes up time and time again: ""Is an artist born or made?"" Performing arts professionals have no doubts. A certain amount of talent is indeed needed but, more importantly, one has to work extremely hard to gain access to a professional career on the stage. As with everything else in life, if one trains among the best, the chances of success are greater.
There are a large number of dance, ballet and acting schools in the world, but only a few are considered the best. Those are the ones people who imagine themselves travelling the world from theatre to theatre dream about entering, going through the tough auditions or try-outs and becoming one of the lucky few for whom the doors are opened. Those are the schools where students don’t go to learn, as to enter you already have to have exceptional abilities, but to reach maximum heights and be among the best.
On the footsteps of the great figures of the stage
In general, the best dance schools are associated with the best ballet companies in the world. The big professionals in our country affirm that, except when entering at a very young age –sometimes as young as two–, in the selection tests, these schools are not just looking for individuals with exceptional ballet, dance or acting abilities.
They want the best, and they therefore look at the shape and singularity of the individual, that which makes them different from the rest and unique. They are also characterised by their own successful and strict teaching methods, such as the Bolshoi or Vaganova method in ballet and the Stanislavski method in acting, which are also followed by other schools.
Universal alumni
Anna Pavlova, Rudolph Nureyev, Natalia Dudinskaya, Alicia Alonso, Margot Fonteyn, Polina Semionova, Maya Plisetskaya and Ángel Corella are just some of the big names in dance and ballet who graduated from these schools and later returned to teach after a professional career as leading ballet dancers in the best ballet companies in the world.
With dramatic art, Hollywood and the Broadway stage are the big objectives of students who go to these schools to train as actors, as in the case of Marlon Brandon, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Sidney Poitier, Gene Hackman, Al Pacino, Paul Newman and Jack Nicholson."
