Throughout the episodes, she had many lovers: Jerónimo, Pavel (played by Orishas’ frontman Yotuel who is also Beatriz Luengo's partner in real life), and Pedro and Nacho, one of her roommates.
Silvia Jáuregui (Mónica Cruz who is also Spanish superstar Penélope Cruz’s sister) is the best female dancer at the school besides being the director's niece.
