During the final days of Swan Lake season we had a surprise visit by talented photographer Daniel Ptatlán. He was part of a team from Mac Cosmetics (more about that coming soon!), he shot beautiful pictures during the warm up and the show.
I couldn't resist to share some of them, hope you enjoy them!

The first Swan Lake week is over, we "only" have four more to go. The premiere went pretty well, but no matter what it is always a shocking experience to do Odette.
On a related note, Vogue Mexico talked to me and followed me around for Swan Lake rehearsals (yes, Vogue as in the magazine!) and the article just came out tonight.
Words cannot describe my excitement to see my picture on Vogue Mexico´s website.

I promise I will get to my non-ballet posts really soon, there is just so much ballet going on lately!

Every year the company has a 4-5 week Swan Lake season. The premiere for it is tonight.
It is a very different version than any other you would see. We do it outdoors in the Chapultepec forest. The stage is surrounded by water and has real trees all over it. Sometimes making it hard to dodge them while dancing.
Even though it is a difficult stage to dance on ( dealing with bugs, trees, and watery eyes from the cold wind) the natural setting really makes this ballet unique.
I will be dancing Odette, the white swan tonight. I am feeling a little very anxious and scared but hopefully it will go well (fingers crossed). If you happen to be in the audience please enjoy it and send all sorts of positive energy to us.
