CBJ Commissions Award-Winning Choreographer and Dancer Jose Angel Carret for New Work
"Several years ago I was invited to create a solo and a duet for CBJ's "Solos and Duets" program, and the dancers I worked with were very talented and inspiring. I am very excited and honored to have been invited again to create a new piece for the company, I cannot wait to start rehearsals with CBJ's talented dancers."
Cuban born Mr. Carret is an award-winning choreographer and principal dancer who has created more than 60 original works. He was as principal dancer and choreographer at Danza Espiral from Matanzas, Cuba, and performed many renowned Cuban choreographers’ works such as Narciso Medina’s piece Metamorphosis, a Cuban modern classic. He has created choreography for the International Ballet competitions in Cuba and for the Youth America Grand Prix international competition (2018) held in Canada.
