Compañía Nacional de Danza

María Muñoz was born in the village of Cabezo de Torres, in Murcia province. Her love for the arts and for dance began at a very tender age. She began her training at Murcia’s Professional Conservatory and later joined the Victor Ullate dance school, where she trained for five years. She has danced such iconic pieces as Don Quijote, Swan Lake and a number of choreographies by Forsythe, such as Artifact and In The Middle. After spending time in England and Germany she joined the CND in 2014 as part of the corps de ballet.

As every year, from the CND we give you our calendar so you can enjoy every day of the beauty of dance. It contains images of the highlights of the last seasons. It is now available for download!

On August 29, the Undersecretariat of Culture of the Ministry of Culture published the resolution calling for the selective process for temporary coverage, linked to the duration of the artistic season, of 26 positions for dancers (9 soloists and 17 for corps de ballet). The aim is to meet the needs established in the Master Plan of the National Dance Company, according to which it is necessary to have a multimodal and interdisciplinary cast that is capable of executing the different dance styles present in the CND repertoire.

The former dancer of the CND and stager of William Forsythe since 2022, José Carlos Blanco, has returned to the company's headquarters for the staging of Playlist (Track 1, 2), an innovative and highly demanding work at a technical level for the twelve male performers for whom it is conceived. The premiere of this work, based on the idea of a "playlist" with music by Peven Everett (Surely Shorty) and Lion Babe (Impossible, Jax Jones remix) is scheduled for December at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, as part of the NumEros program, alongside Serenade by George Balanchine and Echoes from a Restless Soul by Jacopo Godani. With José Carlos Blanco, the dancers have worked thoroughly to achieve the versatility and technical range that this work requires, which fuses classical and contemporary dance and incorporates it into the CND's repertoire for the upcoming season.
