Masterclass in Málaga: 600 Dancers Follow Lucía Lacarra's Lead at Muelle Uno

Muelle Uno in Málaga gathered 600 people to color the city in the hues of the TIP TOE Festival, black and pink, and to dance to the rhythm of 11 well-known musical pieces performed at a large outdoor ballet bar.

This pioneering event in Málaga is part of the International Dance Festival, promoted by Antonio Banderas and directed by Lucía Lacarra, which is held at the Soho CaixaBank Theater until April 19.

With dancer Lucía Lacarra leading, 600 students, teachers, and dance professionals from all over Andalusia and the province of Málaga participated in this unique event, according to a note from CaixaBank.

The students came from various centers in Málaga such as Pepa Flores Professional Dance Conservatory, the Ateneo de música y danza, Ángel Pericet Higher Dance Conservatory, or the Cristina Mesa Dance Academy.

Schools and academies from other municipalities like Torremolinos, Mijas, Nerja, or Marbella also joined, in addition to centers from outside the province like the Luis del Río Professional Dance Conservatory in Córdoba, Teresa Guerrero Dance School in Sevilla, the Professional Dance Conservatory of Granada, or Broadwayhouse in Madrid.

Many locals, curious onlookers, and relatives of the participants came to enjoy this artistic day, which aims to share with the city one of the fundamental exercises of ballet.

A practice that reflects not only the discipline, work, and dedication behind that technique but also the beauty and elegance of this art.

TIP TOE continues with its schedule of activities and performances until April 19 at the Soho CaixaBank Theater.

This evening, the French company Malandain Ballet Biarritz performs Les Saisons, and this Monday, an international audition for dancers aged 17 to 21 organized by the Bavarian Junior Ballet will take place at Sohrlin Andalucía.

Tickets are available on the theater's website, at the box office, and at all El Corte Inglés sales points.
