La Academia was a Paraguayan musical reality show adapted from the Mexican program La Academia. It was broadcast by Telefuturo from May 28 to September 24, 2013 and hosted by Dani Da Rosa.

Structure

La Academia is a talent show contest where the main requirements are to specialize in singing, dancing, and acting. People vote for their favorite contestant so that they don't end up with the lowest score and have to leave the academy.

Contestants live in a 500 square meter house equipped with 30 cameras, a pool, and a Jacuzzi. They receive classes and live with their peers in confinement. They have a weekly concert where they are evaluated by critics and eliminated until a winner is announced.

Marcelo Iripino is the artistic director of La Academia, and he is accompanied by three teachers. Natalia Valdez is the dance teacher, who is assisted by six dance coaches. David Portillo is the music teacher, who is assisted by six vocal coaches. The third and final teacher of the academy is Néstor Amarilla, who teaches acting.
