Yes!...Black Ballet History...
is 'So Elating!'
We now remember, and say the name...
...Juan Carlos Osma!
Juan started his
journey at the Elementary School of
Ballet in 2002. But just eight years
later with much practice and
dedication, he became a professional
dancer and Ballet Teacher Cuba's
National School of Ballet. Right
after he shot up to Principal, he
toured with companies all over
the world, performing in all of
the big, legendary Works: Dracula,
Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Don
Quixote, Spartacus of Africa... you
name it, he danced it! Juan finds
much satisfaction in choreographing
nowadays, and he's 'Stepping on
the Gas!'
"Get 'Um, Tiger!"
Juan also happens to have a mid-upper-lip
Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)
called "Whirl Away!"
