I started going to ballet classes when I was five years old because I was accompanying my sister who started two years earlier, but it was at the age of ten, when I did a course at the Carmina y Pablo School and there I decided to stay until last year, I started my professional career.

I have grown up in school at all levels and I have learned to improve myself and love ballet.

I wanted to thank, especially Carmina, for being an amazing teacher and for teaching me so much, inside and outside of class and getting me to believe in myself.

To Pablo for trusting me, helping me and encouraging me and to Elisa del Campo and María López, for having always been by my side, teaching me, encouraging me and above all trusting me.

All this effort began to bear fruit since August 2018, when I was hired as a solo dancer in the Varna Opera Ballet and in the Russian State Ballet of Siberia, with which I have made a three-month tour of the United Kingdom , dancing as a soloist in Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Snow Maiden, La Fille Mal Gardee and Giselle.

At present I have renewed my contract as a soloist and I have been given the opportunity to play the role of Cinderella as the main one and I will also have the pleasure of playing Kitri in Don Quixote.

In September, I have been invited to work with the stable company of the Russian State Ballet of Siberia in Krasnoyark and will return in December for a new UK tour.

I am very happy because I can enjoy dancing to a classical repertoire and I can live experiences and different ways of working that make me grow as a dancer and also as a person, although I will always have a part of my heart at school.
