Querencia is the new large-format show by Antonio Najarro in which Spanish Dance is highlighted in all its styles. A journey through the interpretative and aesthetic beauty of the Escuela Bolera, Stylized Dance, Traditional Dance and Flamenco.

Najarro faces what is his sixth production, with the desire to revisit its origins, to recover and extol the language of the great choreographic ballets that once made famous figures such as Antonio Ruiz Soler or Mariemma, among others.

The work is a stylization of the styles of Spanish Dance through Najarro's personal choreographic vision. In Querencia, the costumes and all the accessories that accompany his interpretation, such as the Cordoban hat, the manila shawl, the Spanish cape, the tailed gown and the instrument that most characterizes Najarro, the castanets, play hand in hand with the versatile dancers of the company, extolling the beauty and the interpretative and aesthetic projection of our dance.

ANTONIO NAJARRO

Antonio Najarro (Madrid, 1975) has as his main artistic objective to give visibility and prominence to new trends in dance, establishing a current language and a personal style within this discipline and fusing it with different artistic and sporting expressions.

Dancer and choreographer, trained by the most prestigious dance teachers in all styles: classical ballet, bolero school, Spanish classical, folklore, flamenco and contemporary dance. Graduated with honors in Spanish Dance at the Real Conservatorio Profesional de Danza Mariemma in Madrid.

He began his professional career at the age of 15. In 1996, he was guest soloist in the work La Gitana, choreographed by José Antonio Ruiz and Paul Chalmer, with the Ballet del'Arena di Verona under the direction of Carla Fracci. He joined the Ballet Nacional de España (BNE) in 1997, under the direction of Aurora Pons, Nana Lorca and Victoria Eugenia and three years later, he was promoted to the category of Prima Ballerina with Aída Gómez in the artistic direction of the company.

His creative vocation soon led him to choreograph and he created his own Antonio Najarro Company in 2002.

Antonio Najarro joined Ballet Nacional de España as Director in 2011. Since his arrival, he has kept alive the enormous cultivated repertoire, opened a path for new creation, and supported and broadened the dissemination of the complex spectrum of national folklore. In addition, Najarro projects an innovative image of the BNE, capable of pleasing its longtime audience but also attracting a new, probably younger, one that feels identified with the renewed proposals of the group.

At the end of his time at the BNE in 2019, he returns with his own Company touring with his show Alento , which starts in Granada and takes him to various theaters and auditoriums. Querencia is the last show of his company.
