What does it mean to bring two winning choreographies to England?
When I chose natural affectionI thought about taking her so that they could start training, not so much to get a prize or encouragement; The premiere of this choreography is about to arrive on October 27 in Guadalajaraand the only thing I wanted was for the kids to start feeling confident about what they were going to present.
It was something very shocking, I didn’t expect to win first placebut it is something that motivates me to continue doing choreographic creation, it motivates me to continue with my research and with this pattern of healthy dancers, with more love, but without losing the demand and rigidity that the tradition of dance always gives us. brand.
