Activity framed within the collaboration agreement established with the Conservatorio Profesional de Danza "Reina Sofía" of Granada.

La puesta en marcha del presente convenio de colaboración tiene como objetivo principal fomentar, dinamizar y profesionalizar la danza contemporánea en Granada, fortaleciendo el vínculo y la sinergia entre ambas entidades: la Compañía DA.TE Danza, como entidad referente en el ámbito de la creación y difusión de la danza contemporánea en el territorio autonómico, nacional e internacional y el Conservatorio Profesional de Danza «Reina Sofía», como institución de formación artística de ámbito regional.
This agreement seeks to strengthen the development of contemporary dance from an educational and professional approach, integrating both entities, public and private, to generate growth opportunities for both students and dance professionals in Granada and its territorial environment.
The development of this agreement is based on the need to strengthen ties between academic training and the professional field of contemporary dance, thus facilitating a smoother transition of students towards the beginning of their professional careers.
During their formative stage, students receive a broad technical and artistic preparation, which allows them to acquire the fundamental bases to develop as performers and creators. However, there is a certain distance between the academic content and the reality of the professional dance and performing arts sector. This disparity is particularly evident in areas such as professionalization, the creation and management of artistic projects, and personal and economic sustainability in a cultural environment that presents specific challenges.
