AluapDans is a Non-Profit Association, established in January 2010.
Since then we work as a dance company and as a dance school.
As a dance company, we have developed our own repertoire both at a professional level and stutent level, as well as in an inclusive manner, since 1998.
As a dance school we began by teaching non-certified dance classes until we were recognized by the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) in 2012, since then we have included certified vocational education in our offer to the general public. From 2017 to 2021, we were recognized by the Portuguese Ministry of Education and Science, therefore allowing us to teach official dance courses within the scope of Specialized Artistic Education in Dance. For reasons related to social responsibility, the school assumes a scholarship program for students in need and who stand out due to their technical and artistic qualities.
Currently we teach curricular activities in public schools, with the support of the Municipality of Oeiras. We are also dedicated to artistic projects in partnership with Norway, and are responsible for the e-learning training platform Formar Asas.
