In the 2008 season, he became a rehearsal director for the National Dance Company 2, eventually taking over its direction in 2010. Currently, Fabrice balances dance projects with his role as Nacho Duato’s assistant, serving as a guest teacher in various schools, conservatories, and national and international companies, conducting repertoire workshops and teaching classical and contemporary dance classes.
