In 2005, audiences bid farewell to the vibrant cast of Un, Dos, Tres and their fictional Academy of Performing Arts. Nearly two decades since the premiere, we've tracked the remarkable journeys of these beloved actors.
One of the ultimate cult classics of the 2000s on M6, the Spanish series Un Paso Adelante—known as Un, Dos, Tres in France—enthralled viewers with the career highs, romances, and rivalries of aspiring artists at Madrid's School of Performing Arts. Its six seasons were a massive hit.
Between 2002 and 2005—and through endless M6 reruns—fans adored the infectious dances, catchy songs, and heartfelt stories of these rising stars. Here's an expert roundup of what the key cast members have achieved since.
After releasing a 2006 album with the smash hit Dirás que estoy loco, the portrayer of the sharp-witted student pivoted to a thriving acting career. He's excelled in Spanish TV and international projects like the Mexican series Capadocia and What About Love opposite Sharon Stone. French fans know him from season five of Dancing with the Stars with Fauve Hautot. Today, he stars in acclaimed Spanish series such as El Ministerio del Tiempo.
The actress behind the shy dancer transitioned to music, achieving stardom in Spain and Latin America with collaborations alongside Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, Daddy Yankee, and Ricky Martin. She's earned four Latin Grammy nominations. She served as a judge on France's Destination Eurovision in 2019 and founded a performing arts school in Madrid.
She's still with fellow castmate Yotuel Romero (Pavel Rodríguez), now of the hip-hop group Orishas. The couple shares a young son.
Portraying the driven dancer, she faced challenges matching her sister Penélope Cruz's fame post-series. She's appeared in films and series like Asterix at the Olympic Games, judged on Spain's Top Dance, and served as Penélope's body double on Pirates of the Caribbean while pregnant. Ultimately, launching a handbag line with her sister led to her passion: styling.
After playing the effervescent student smitten with teacher Juan, she sustained a steady career in films, series like Niños Robados, and stage plays—though not matching the series' heights. She also created her clothing brand "The Redheads", drawing from Mediterranean influences and crafted in Spain.
The heartthrob who had Academy girls swooning leveraged his fame for cinema, TV roles, and musicals showcasing his dance skills. Lately, he's stepped back from screens to champion humanitarian efforts, including LGBTQ+ rights and animal welfare.
Lending her talents to the prodigiously talented yet health-challenged dancer, she boasts over 15 Spanish films and series credits, including Tierra de Lobos, Chiringuito de Pepe, and thriller Viral—reuniting her with Miguel Ángel Muñoz. She's also a sought-after model and expecting her second child.
The fierce rival to fan-favorite Ingrid and stern dance instructor has kept a low profile, channeling her energy into music as the lead singer of rock band Rico & Roll.
At 85, the Academy director's portrayer has limited herself to minor roles in indie films since the series ended, appearing rarely.
The classical dance teacher who exited abruptly—devastating fans—starred in musicals before thriving in top Spanish series like Velvet, El Internado, and El Ministerio del Tiempo.
