VALENCIA BALLET MASTERCLASS®

Intensive Course 2025

Every year, during the April holidays, we run our Special Easter Workshop, Royal Academy of Dance (R.A.D) revision course and Creative School. We would like to share that this year we are launching an initiative, our new project VALENCIA BALLET MASTERCLASS® an intensive course over 3 days, 22–23–24 April 2025.

We aim to hold this advanced course every year over Easter because we want to offer a meeting place for the world of Dance at our facilities. We believe in the importance of high-level training. We want to share the experience of meeting, learning, working and enjoying dance with professional dancers and international teachers.

The Intensive Ballet Course is designed to refine technique, strengthen artistic expression and improve performance with first-rate teachers. We will be able to enjoy a transformative experience with specialised classes, high-level training and an inspiring atmosphere. A unique opportunity to grow as a dancer and as a person.

Here in our city of Valencia, without the need to travel, we invite international dancers who are still professionally active to these intensive courses, as well as influential dance teachers with distinguished professional and international careers.

The intensive course VALENCIA BALLET MASTERCLASS® is coordinated by a teacher from our teaching team, María José Sales, a former professional dancer and soloist with Santamaría Compañía Danza, Corella Ballet and the English National Ballet in London. Her biography is extensive; here is a link to our website if you would like to get to know her better: María José Sales biography

This year we are inviting the dancer and teacher:

As you know from previous years, on the same days we offer our Special Easter Workshop (from the age of 6), with content for:

• Elementary Grade offering Royal Academy of Dance (R.A.D) revision as our exams take place as soon as we return from the Easter holidays
• And for the little ones the Creative School

Dance is more than movement; it is passion, discipline and dedication. On this intensive course, every drop of sweat will be a step towards growth, every challenge an opportunity to improve. We like to remember that talent is nurtured through effort and that every experience brings us closer to excellence.

Dance with your soul, feel the music in every fibre of your being and let dance tell the story. Passion goes hand in hand with dedication. Remember, ENJOY the PROCESS; it will be intense, but beautiful too.

See you soon, and thank you for sharing this reading with us.
