Escuela de Ballet El Sauzal

The El Sauzal Ballet School was born more than two decades ago, as a firm commitment by the El Sauzal City Council for culture and the performing arts.

In 2014 the current management took the reins of the project, with the intention of making dance even more rooted in the municipality, using our more than 20 years of experience and with very clear objectives:

1-. Teaching principles.

Teaching, also in dance, is an act of vocation; guiding, spreading and transmitting knowledge in a friendly and effective way using the playful-educational duality intrinsic to ballet.
It has been shown that with younger students, the balance between technical learning and play strengthens knowledge more quickly, girls and boys interact with their peers, learn to identify and recognize themselves, all of which is a fundamental part during their Emotional development.
In the classes of the students with more level we develop technical and corporal aspects, learning new movements that allow the knowledge and control of their own body.

It is essential that they receive adequate feedback, which helps them to improve and improve so that they enjoy learning. The key to achieving this is teaching them to manage their emotions and tolerate frustration, which will lead to greater security and independence.

2-. The classical technique as a foundation.
By teaching classical dance, we teach to control mind and body at the same time. We teach discipline, concentration, capacity for effort, harmony of movements, in short, a solid technical training that is characterized by a refined quality of movements and an excellent body expression, all of them essential virtues in a good dancer.

A body technique developed over centuries with a regulated structure and a codified language makes ballet a solid foundation on which to build any art related to movement.

That is why we defend classical dance training as the basis for the rest of the styles and techniques of the movement.

3-. Enjoy the dance.
Ballet is effort and discipline yes, but it is not the only thing, coming to class to have fun, relieve stress or simply disconnect from the routine is just as important.

That is why our school is not directed only to those who want to dedicate themselves to dance in a professional way but to those who, regardless of their age or physical condition, want to learn classical dance in a correct and entertaining way.

4-. The ballet on stage.
Classical ballet was conceived from its birth as art and spectacle, its almost five centuries of perfection have not changed its nature, that is why in our school we pay a lot of attention to the aspect of ballet that is more focused on the scene.

We are passionate about our dancers experiencing the satisfaction of stepping on the stage, both in elaborate shows and small pieces at shows and festivals.
