Resume: I started my ballet studies at the age of 4, at 8 I entered the Instituto Superior de Arte del Teatro Colón (Superior Art Institute), where I acquired technical knowledge from the hand of the best teachers such as Rina Valverde, Andrea Bengochea, Stella M. Saladino, Mabel Silvera, Ana Rosenthal, Mario Galizzi, Igor Gopkalo, Tatiana Fesenko, among others, always with solid training in classical ballet but also in other rhythms and techniques (modern, Spanish, folklore). I also attended regularly from an early age and throughout my training until today, to the most prestigious institutes taking classes with Lidia Segni, Silvia Bazilis, Verónica Idígoras, Katty Gallo, Olga Ferri, Héctor Barriles, Ricardo Rivas, Gabriela Pucci, Nela Frexas, José Luis Lozano, Daniel Negroni, etc. I gained experience working for the Stable Ballet of the Teatro Colón (Annual exhibitions of the I.S.A.T.C., functions of the Stable Ballet in "Don Quixote" by the prestigious choreographer Zarko Prebil, and "Nutcracker" with revival by Aleth Francillon), the Teatro General San Martín (Work "Trois Générations" by the French choreographer Jean-Claude Gallotta, together with the Contemporary Ballet of the Teatro San Martín). I have also participated in various exhibitions of private academies since I was 6 years old and especially in works of classical repertoire, which gave me the possibility of being distinguished in national competitions with gold and silver medals in choreographic variations in free classical, repertoire, neoclassical and contemporary. In 2017 I studied Contemporary Dance at the Instituto Arte XXI. In 2018, I participated in the company "Dov'è la bussola?" (Ballet of the Lyric Company) with the aim of acquiring scenic experience, as I continued to perfect myself taking various classes of ballet and pointe technique, contemporary,body training, tap, jazz and acrobatics. Winner of half a scholarship for the Barcelona Dance Center, and full scholarship for the career of Interpreter in Dance and Musical Comedy at the Art and Dance Foundation "El Centro". Member of the company "Ballet con Humor", along with former members of the Stable Ballet of the Teatro Colón and the Teatro Argentino de La Plata. Current student of Audiovisual Arts with orientation in Production at the UNA (National University of Arts). Recently winner of a 100% schoIarship in the Summer Intensive of the San Diego Ballet. I also work as a dance teacher in private studios, and making my own film-ballet productions. 🏳️⚧️🎥 My goal is to continue growing as a dancer and producer, fighting against the rules of selectivity by stable companies by biotype, age, height, gender, and although it is perhaps ambitious from that perspective to pretend a job, I believe that my gender identity or my height should not be an impediment to aspire to an opportunity to demonstrate my performance; I'm 1.60 mts height, and I'm a transgender man. I must also mention that I find it rewarding to learn to dance practically again: in 2017 I had my chest operation (mastectomy) while I was in the contemporary career, and in February 2021 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, so after a hard time of important physical, emotional changes, and also going through the restrictions of the pandemic, I managed to resume the activity again in a professional way and simply following the dream of one day exert in what I always loved and trained for. That's why I created "Double Role Ballet": Dancers united for inclusion, where together with a cast of profesional dancers with extensive experience in different renowned institutions such as the Teatro Colón, Teatro San Martín, Fundación Julio Bocca, etc., we come together to give to know our work, and make visible the always current problem of inclusion in classical dance. 🏳️⚧️🩰🎬
