It has developed his own repertoire both at a professional level and in the context of working with students at the school, as well as at the level of inclusive dance, an existing project since 1998.
As a SCHOOL of Dance, the Conservatory of Dance and Arts, began by developing a regular education with a free character, until it was recognized by the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) in 2012, since then it includes a certified vocational education in its offer.
In 2017, the homologation to the Ministry of Education and Science is added, allowing the teaching of official courses within the scope of Specialized Artistic Education in Dance.
