High Performance Campus in Training and Artistic Creation

The Higher School of Performing Arts “ESAEM”, has its headquarters in Malaga, located in the city centre and two hundred metres away from the beach.

In addition to being a Conservatory of Dance and a Higher School of Interpretation, it is conceived as a centre of high artistic performance, forming an elite of versatile artists and with a great human commitment.

We promote comprehensive artistic education from 4 years to professional level, enhancing the creative and innovation capabilities of our students.

We encourage and promote their development, both personal and professional, accompanying them in all stages of growth through the main scenic disciplines: acting, dance and singing.
