The main objective of the PAR in Dance is to be able to offer a complete training based on the development of dance technique, both classical and contemporary. An experience that will allow the dancer to grow as an artist.

During the school year, the daily schedule includes ballet classes, pointe classes, repertoire work, pas de deux lessons, contemporary dance, variations, body conditioning and rehearsals.

The morning sessions are entirely dedicated to the pedagogical part of the course, while the afternoon sessions are focused on rehearsals for the productions.

From PAR in Dance we consider it essential for our students to gain experience on stage, therefore, we offer them the opportunity to participate in different productions. In some of them, such as The Nutcracker, all PAR members take part, while in others, such as Carmen Suite or The Four Seasons, only a selected number of our students participate.

We believe that the combination of classes and stage experience is what allows our students to approach the professional world from a formative perspective.

Meeting and working with dance professionals is an opportunity that we do not miss at PAR in Dance. Fortunately, every year we are lucky enough to be able to work with them. For instance, in the production Carmen Suite (November 2022), a selection of our students was chosen to dance in this production starring Sergio Bernal and Giada Rossi.

On the other hand, the choreographer Ilia Jivoy joins PAR in Dance in March 2023 in order to personally prepare our dancers for the production of The Four Seasons.

Although individual monitoring and training are a constant in PAR en Danza, we do not want to lose sight of our main objective: to prepare our students to the maximum so that they can face the audition processes of professional companies with guarantees.

To this end, after helping to prepare all the necessary audition material, our team of teachers personally advises and informs our students of the most interesting job offers.

Thanks to this initiative, the PAR in Dance dancers will put themselves in the shoes of a choreographer during these weeks and will create their own choreographies while directing their colleagues.

A creation of their own from start to finish where they will have to conceive the body movements, the music and the costumes, among many other things. It will also be presented to the public at the beginning of March in a choreography competition broadcast live. The best work, chosen by the public, will be awarded with a space in the programme of the end-of-year gala and a gift voucher.

Every year Terrassa welcomes various companies and professional dancers who bring their work to the LaFACT Cultural stage. Professionals who take advantage of this visit to give masterclasses, workshops, talks and exchanges with PAR en Danza students.

Among others, during the 2022-2023 academic year we will receive visits from professionals such as: Matthew Golding and Lucía Lacarra, the Georgian Ballet, the Carolyn Carlson Company, Aterballetto, the Jesús Carmona Company, the Bejart Ballet of Lausanne.

The 2022-2023 course officially comes to an end on the 30th of June after the celebration of a final gala. All PAR en Dance students will have the opportunity to demonstrate on stage their technical evolution after the 10 months of continuous training they have received.

A farewell to the course open to the public where a selection of the best works produced throughout the year will be performed.
