Aitor Marquez Mijan<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Spanish-born Aitor started dancing at the age of 8 in his home city of Madrid. His first experience   was at a local school before he moved on to the Conservatorio Profesional de Danza Fortea. Here in Madrid he completed 6 years of serious training before joining Junior Ballet Antwerp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way he had heard about JBA but gained a much deeper knowledge of the company and program when Altea Nu\u00f1ez came to conduct a workshop at the Conservatory; he fell in love with her style and manner of working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AITOR: \u201cAn important part for me was to find out how JBA helped their dancers in their search for professional work. I understood that I needed much more experience in different styles of dance and how necessary this is for my future. It is clear that these essential opportunities are what JBA has to offer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, Aitor would very much like to dance with a classical or neo-classical company and a big dream of his is to join the San Francisco Ballet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for favourite choreographers, one he greatly admires is Goyo Montero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His dream ballet however is very classical: Romeo and Juliet<\/em>, a ballet which moves him greatly as he is inspired by the music and the emotional elements in the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later on in his career, Aitor is thinking perhaps of teaching ballet, as well as studying something  history-related, which are subjects which interest him greatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
