Years training dancers in Madrid

C.P.D. Fortea

A public dance school with an artistic and international outlook.

At C.P.D. Fortea, we contribute to the educational process through the expression of emotions and feelings through dance. We strive for excellence in technique, knowledge of dance history, and the transmission of values such as effort, hard work, sacrifice and perseverance.

Since 1942, we have been training future performers through specialised studies, official qualifications and an outlook focused on the professional world.
