Compañía Nacional de Danza 2 (CND2) was originally created by Nacho Duato, in October 1999 in order to prepare future dancers for their professional lives. Subsequently, CND2 has come into its own right as a highly seasoned and dynamic company that further allows Nacho Duato’s signature ballets to be seen by audiences worldwide.
While Mr. Duato choreographs exclusive pieces for CND2 the company’s repertoire also includes his previous ballets as well as works by up-and-coming choreographers. CND2 inspires young dancers and offers new and exciting choreographic visions while enhancing the cultural panorama.

CND2 PRESS QUOTES
“Superbly
trained and full of energy
the 14 member younger ensemble-often
called CND2 made a splash
in its American debut at
the Jacob’s Pillow
Dance Festival in Becket,
Mass in 2003, and it similarly
invigorated the audience
at the Ahmanson Theatre on
Friday when it opened a 3
day engagement as part of
the Dance at The Music Center
series.”
