The school will perform two shows, on Saturday, June 24 at 9pm, followed by a matinee on Sunday, June 25 at 12pm.

More than 130 talented students between the ages of three and 17 are set to take the stage performing a variety of different dance styles, including classical ballet, flamenco, and urban dance.

The ‘Our Little Universe’ Gala promises stunning performances curated by choreographers Rocío Pulido, Mari Lozano, and the school’s namesake, Juan Pablo García himself.

The school’s Flame Dance Crew is particularly known for their talent. Under the guidance of teacher Rocío Pulido, the Flame Dance Crew will also represent Almuñecar in the upcoming European Urban Dance Finals in Athens, Greece.

The shows will both take place at Almuñecar’s Casa de La Cultura.

Through the programme, the establishments encountered a series of strategic face­to­face and digital consultancies.

This was accompanied by 10 hours of face­to­face training on certain topics: sales techniques, digitalisation, restaurant operations, menu profitability, scandals and cooking techniques.
