Thanks to our excellent partner schools and sports schools, students can optimally combine the high training workload at our dance school with their school education/teaching:

Talent Campus Winterthur from 5th grade to senior high school
Swiss Academy Zurich International Matura A-Levels
Kunst und Sportgymnasium Rämibühl (K+S Rämibühl) Zurich



Sport Academy Zurich KV with BMS or without BMS
Our partnership with the Sport Academy Zurich allows our dancers to combine their passion and the great training effort with a top-serious professional education (KV). The Sport Academy is a quality school and cooperates with the official KV (Commercial formation of the Canton of Zurich (main building at Escher-Wyss-Platz). The training is extended by one year so that the high training expenditure can be made possible for four years.

In order to be able to take the entrance examinations at these schools, students must first audition at the Danse Suisse on the Talentscounting Days.
The prerequisite for admission is a positive talent assessment and passing the entrance examination.

 

Flamenco

Since 2013, the Hermanos López Dance Centre has been offering flamenco training from the “Asociacion de profesores de Danza Española” (APDE) (a dance course awarded by the Catedra de Flamencologia Jerez de la Frontera). This training plan consists of five exams in which the most important dance styles of flamenco such as soleares, seguiriyas, tarantos, farruca, caña, bulerias etc. are tested. In the more advanced levels, these must also be demonstrated with flamenco-specific accessories such as manton, castanets, bata de cola or garrote. In the theoretical part of the exam, the knowledge about the origin of flamenco, cantes, rhythms, biographies of great artists etc. is tested. The exam is in Spanish.

Danza Española

In 2005 the Hermanos Lopez TanzCenter introduced the professional training in danza española, with final exams in Madrid. Since 2009 the exams are held in the TanzCenter itself. For the exam three jury members, a pianist, a guitarist and a singer come from Spain to Switzerland. The dance studies are based on the curriculum of official training centres in Spain. The dance styles that are tested are ballet, escuela bolera, danzas regionales, danza estilizada and flamenco. The entire training consists of seven exams:

  • four levels “Grado Elemental”
  • three levels “Grado Medio o Profesional”
