Conoce a nuestros bailarines: Anthony Pina

Mi nombre es Anthony Pina y me uní a la CND en septiembre de 2012. Como bailarín, me describiría a mí mismo como agudo y enérgico. Me encanta trabajar rápido y probar el límite de la rapidez con la que puedo moverme mientras sigo trabajando con una técnica limpia. Una de las cosas que más me gusta de la danza es que es una experiencia de aprendizaje interminable. Hay tantas formas de abordar la danza y la técnica, ¡y quiero aprenderlas todas!
