En el año 2006, la Escuela Profesional de Danza de Castilla y León bajo la tutela de la Consejería de Educación de la JCYL, inaugura el primer curso académico en sus dos sedes, con tres especialidades: Clásico y Español en el centro de Valladolid y Clásico y Contemporáneo en el de Burgos. El gran impulso de la Escuela, no obstante, fue a partir de disponer de los dos edificios (vinculo a instalaciones) que albergan estas enseñanzas, cuyos espacios concebidos para la enseñanza de la Danza nos han permitido desarrollar toda nuestra labor creativa y educativa
A lo largo de estos años, también se ha visto consolidado el equipo de profesores que han sentado las bases profesionales de estas enseñanzas de Danza y han demostrado su enorme valía no sólo a través de su labor diaria como educadores sino, especialmente, en los frutos obtenidos por la participación de los alumnos en Concursos de relevancia nacional e internacional, donde han demostrado su alto nivel técnico y artístico.
Asimismo, el talento de nuestros alumnos se ha visto recompensado con la participación en Galas de proyección internacional, becas para cursos, invitación a encuentros internacionales, etc. y lo más importante, con la contratación de un importante número de alumnos en compañías nacionales e internacionales: European Ballet de Londres, el Ballet de Checoslovaquia, Ballet de Mainz (Alemania), el Ballet de Ginebra (Suiza), Ballet de Capitole de Toulouse, Taller de Formación del Centro Andaluz de Danza (CAD), etc.
La Escuela Profesional de Danza de Castilla y León, en su X Aniversario abrió sus puertas para mostrar su interesante labor educativa, social y cultural a la sociedad castellana y leonesa por medio de una serie de actos, encuentros, muestras y espectáculos de un gran nivel artístico y cultural.
GRAN GALA ANIVERSARIO
Como plato fuerte de este Aniversario, cada Sede llevó a cabo su Gran Gala la cual se realizó en dos de los más importantes espacios escénicos de nuestra Comunidad: El Auditorio del Forum Evolución (Burgos) y el Centro Cultural Miguel Delibes (Valladolid)
Basándonos en las presentaciones que realizan las grandes escuelas de danza del mundo, todos los alumnos de cada Centro, desde el nivel elemental, al profesional (270 alumnos en Valladolid y 232 en Burgos) desfilaron y mostraron su labor sobre estos importantes escenarios.

This Masters course has been designed in collaboration with two key institutions in the field of artistic creation and contemporary artistic reflection:
Catholic University of Louvain
Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium. Created over four decades ago, the Centre for Theatrical Studies at this university is one of the key European venues for analysis of theatrical events from an interdisciplinary perspective. Its studies of the language from which theatre today is constructed constitute one of the most interesting contributions to the dialogue between critical discourse and contemporary stage practice.
Art College of the University of Coímbra
Colégio das Artes da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal. Part of the University of Coimbra, this college facilitates the processes of study and creativity of contemporary artists from various disciplines within the field of university research, thus enabling those creative artists interested in research to be able to do their dissertations and/or doctoral theses by drawing on their own artistic projects.
Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra
Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra, FLUC. The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is one of the eight faculties of the University of Coimbra, which is considered to be the oldest of the Portuguese-speaking universities and one of the most ancient universities in Europe. It offers degrees in Archaeology and History, Information Sciences, Archives and Librarianship, Artistic and Classical Studies, Philosophy, Geography and History, Journalism, Art History, European Studies and Modern Languages. Its organisational structure includes various research centres and it offers a wide range of activities such as conferences, masterclasses, congresses and presentations.
Other collaborating organisations: network of partnerships
One of the distinctive aspects of the Masters is its network of partner organisations. The Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático de Castilla y León (ESADCYL) has organised a wide network of partnerships with some of the most prestigious cultural institutions of Castilla y León and other communities. Their field of activity is in line with the Masters curriculum design, the nature of the study programme and its objectives, providing the students with an interdisciplinary perspective open to different paradigms or artistic languages. This network includes festivals of contemporary creative arts, centres for exhibiting performing arts, production areas, cultural foundations, artistic events, multidisciplinary spaces and centres of choreographic creation.
