Young Artists
Just as vitamin D is for the body, this formation is essential for the growth and development of young dance artists, allowing them to enter the new season with greater energy, presence, awareness and inspiration.
VITAMIN D
VITAMIN D is a 5 day event in Faro that offers stimulating and eclectic proposals in dance and media, disciplines that intertwine with each other.
The team of national and international guest artists, recognised for their professional background and their holistic approach to teaching, look after the integral growth of the young artists with an eye on the longevity and health of their future trajectory, as well as the exploration of new skills. Individuality, autonomy, plasticity, technical, personal and artistic development are the focus of all activities.

During these sessions, the teacher focuses on the participant’s specific needs and goals, working on areas such as posture, alignment, strength, flexibility, technical precision and artistic expression. Each coaching session allows for faster progress in the chosen discipline as the focus is exclusively on individual development.

Young artists can enjoy a one-to-one session with the BROTO team, where they will get personalised advice on applying for auditions for schools or dance companies. This session can cover any of the following topics: CV and motivation letter review, strategic career counselling, guidance on self-promotion techniques and how to successfully prepare for auditions.
PHOTO SESSION
Photo sessions serve as an essential tool for creating a professional portfolio, showcasing high-quality visuals that can set young artists apart in auditions and career opportunities. They also foster self-confidence and self-esteem, helping to monitor artistic progress and evolution. The individual sessions take place in the dance studio and in close collaboration with the photographer.
