After many training sessions together, I have the pleasure to invite my dear teacher and friend Ana to Amsterdam for the first time!
Ana Aylen is a Cuban dancer and choreographer who completed seven years of training at the Escuela Nacional de Arte (ENA) in Cuba, where she earned her Gold Diploma in Contemporary and Folkloric Dance in 2011.
With over 14 years of international professional experience, Ana has performed as a principal dancer, regisseur, and soloist with renowned companies such as Ballet Rakatan, Revolution Ballet, and Soy de Cuba.
Today, she continues to share her artistry as a choreographer, artistic director, and teacher, leading creative projects like Le Club Festival Dance and Doble A Dance Company, her ongoing dance project based in Barcelona.
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from one of Cuba’s finest dancers!
