Compañía Nacional de Danza

On September 30, the dancer Elisabetta Formento was congratulated for her nomination in the fifth edition of the Premio Nazionale Sfera d'Oro per la Danza 2023, coordinated by Alfio Agostini and awarded by Gabriella Furlan Malvezzi.

The Mandarin Oriental Ritz of Madrid supports the National Dance Company in its Christmas campaign in the representation of its work The Sylphide, by August Bournonville, one of the most emblematic romantic ballets in the history of classical dance.

On November 7, the CND premiered a mixed program with great success at the Naves del Español, in Matadero, Madrid.

The National Dance Company has joined the Be a Tree Now! movement, a mobilizing and open action in which dance is used so that people see and represent themselves as a tree. The climate emergency is the biggest problem we face as a species. We must act to make visible the need to urgently apply climate justice. Today, Tuesday, October 24, 2023, International Day against Climate Change, the presentation of this initiative by Eugenio Ampudia took place in the Botanical Garden of the Complutense University.

On Saturday, October 21, the CND and Crossborder Project will hold the “Dancing with the Dragon” workshop in the Pacific Room of the Real Teatro del Retiro within the framework of the “Aprendanza23” project.

In order to promote choreographic creation and experimentation by young artists, the National Dance Company (CND) opens a new call for “Creation Residencies”, aimed at emerging choreographers and/or companies who, if selected, will be able to use the rehearsal rooms, as well as part of the CND infrastructure. The selection of choreographic projects will be carried out based on criteria of innovation and artistic excellence. The CND will contact those selected starting November 2, 2023.

Our soloist dancer, Mario Galindo, has been awarded at the 51st Positano Leonide Massine Awards gala held on Saturday night, September 2nd in Positano. Mario has won one of the awards for 'dancer of the year on the international scene'. We couldn't be prouder or more excited with this well deserved recognition to this young and talented artist, congratulations dear Mario!

As on other occasions, the Compañía Nacional de Danza, in its commitment to cultural accessibility, will provide two accessible performances in the upcoming performances at the Teatro Fernán Gómez in June and at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in July.
