These are my favorite ballets since each one has a different story, I like the difference in characters and their interpretation, the music and its dynamics as they change according to the plot of the ballet, and the composition of the dance with the music.

Some of the most defining moments of my career are when I moved from Spain to the United States to begin my professional career as a dancer, the first time I danced in a full-length ballet in a company (my first ballet was The Nutcracker), and the first time my family was able to see me dance in a big theater here in Houston dancing Overgrown Path by Jiří Kylián. All the roles and choreographies that I dance are important to me, and each time I am on stage and take my final bow in front of the audience after dancing a piece or ballet, it reminds me of why I love dancing and that after so much work I can dedicate myself to this beautiful art form.
