The aim is to meet the needs established in the Master Plan of the National Dance Company, according to which it is necessary to have a multimodal and interdisciplinary cast that is capable of executing the different dance styles present in the CND repertoire.

Meet our dancers: Celia Dávila

Celia Dávila, a Basque dancer from the city of Vitoria, first had contact with dance at barely the age of four. The passion she feels for this discipline, and most especially for ballet, led her to winning scholarships in Cannes, Monaco and Boston. In 2016, she joined the Carmina Ocaña and Pablo Savoye dance school. There, she danced the part of Olga in Picasso, by the renowned Antonio Ruiz and, after taking part in Don Quijote Suite, by José Carlos Martínez, she later joined the CND under the direction of Joaquín De Luz.
