School of Dance - Tucumán, Argentina 1976-1992

An intensive, professional, non-academic training program based on the Royal Academy of Ballet and the Voganova systems. Beginning in 1987, implemented a program designed to expand School of Dance, Tucumán into a well-rounded school of the performing arts integrating artistic training with academic studies. The first phase, adding a music program and academic studies to the existing dance school, took effect in 1990. The name of the school was officially changed at that time to High School for Artistic Education (Escuela Superior de Educación Artística).
