I accomplished my dreams,
I would love to help you achieve your own
¿Who am I?
My name is Alihaydee Carreño and my life has been intertwined with ballet since I was born. My journey in the world of dance began at the age of ten at the Provincial Ballet School of Havana. Then it continued at the Escuela Nacional de Arte (National School of Arts) in 1991. During this time, I was fortunate to be guided by renowned teachers such as Alicia Alonso, Fernando Alonso, Ramona de Sáa, Josefina Méndez and many others.
Throughout my training, I won awards and recognitions that made me spread my wings even more:
- First Prize at the National Ballet Festival and at the Modern Dance School of Havana
- Medal and Diploma of Honor for Best Dance Couple and Special Award for Best Young Dancer at the Chiclayo International Dance Festival, Peru
- First Prize for the Best Female Performance in the National Dance Contest of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba
After graduating, I received the Gold Medal and the Best Student award at the National Festival of Ballet and Modern Dance Schools. In that same year, I joined the National Ballet of Cuba under the artistic and technical direction of Alicia Alonso.
¿What can I offer you?
I have traveled a path of success, being promoted to Principal Dancer and, later, to First Dancer of the National Ballet of Cuba.
My repertoire includes leading roles in ballets from the romantic-classical tradition, as well as prominent roles in the contemporary repertoire. My career has been enriched by performances in countries such as Italy, the United States, Spain, France, China, Mexico and many others. Over the years, I have shared the stage with notable figures in international dance.
My life has prepared me to be able to offer you today
- A holistic approach to your child's development if you are looking for a safe and inspiring place to drop him/her off after school.
- A solid training in ballet, if your dream or that of your children, is to become a professional dancer
- Or, simply, a space where ballet becomes a lifestyle, fun, challenging and exciting.
Thank you for allowing me to continue following my dreams
