Compañía Nacional de Danza

During the weeks prior to our recent premiere at Teatros del Canal, dozens of rehearsals took place at the CND headquarters, where we received important dance figures who made possible the staging of the works in the program (Heatscape, Le Jeune Homme et la Mort and Cantata).

The activity at our headquarters and mainly the work of the dancers has been underway for a few weeks with daily rehearsals and classes with new repeat teachers and guest teachers. In order to avoid injuries and condition the body for the demanding professional activity they carry out, the dancers are attending a course taught by Luis Gadea, professor of dance, specialist in exercise physiology and risk prevention technician at INAEM.

Daniella Oropesa, a ballet dancer of Cuban origin, began her training at the Escuela Elemental de Ballet Alejo Carpentier. She continued with her training at the Escuela Nacional de Ballet in Havana and, in 2020, she joined Laura Alonso’s company. She has danced in different countries such as Australia and New Zeland, within the Ballet Revolución programme, as well as an invited guest dancer with Les Ballets de France in Paris. In 2017, she joined the Compañía Nacional de Danza, where she has performed in pieces such as The Nutcracker, Giselle, Concierto DSCH, Triple Bach and Arriaga, among others.

On April 9, 2015, thanks to the direction of José Carlos Martínez, the CND presented Carmen, in the version of Johan Inger. It was such a great success that the Company has continued to represent it in theaters around the world, leaving an indelible memory of it.
