Un paso adelante

Un paso adelante is set at the Carmen Arranz Performing Arts School, a Madrid institution that ranks among the best arts schools in Spain. Its director, Carmen Arranz, played by Lola Herrera, opens its doors to 20 young people who aspire to train as artists. Before getting in, applicants must pass tough entrance exams, and only the best will make it through. Once admitted, they must prove they excel in subjects such as music, dance, singing and acting. The daily life of students and teachers, many of them former students of the school, shows how these young people are trained as artists and as people. The series was created by Daniel Écija, Juan Carlos Cueto, Ernesto Pozuelo, Pilar Nadal and Jesús del Cerro, and airs on Antena 3.
