Erica Cornejo, in firm ascent

The Argentine dancer already integrated that important body of dance But now she was designated like solista Reside with his brother in New York from 1998

From 1998, when the Cornejo brothers, after being integral of the Argentine Ballet of Julio Bocca, went to prove luck to New York, the aspirations were as strong as their intense work to demonstrate their conditions. The goal was to enter in the American Theatre Ballet and both obtained it.

Herman, winner to the 16 years of the gold medal of Moscow, was named solista and has been recognized by his virtuosity in papers of great importance. In as much Erica, although it was member of the dance body, was chosen frequently to play roles of solista to a large extent of the repertoire of the ABT, among them "the Privateer", "Roundup", "the Nutcrackers", works of Martha Graham, Balanchine, and selected like protagonist for openings like "Black Tuesday", of Paul Taylor, and "Gong", of Mark Morris, among others. The life without breathing of a dancer is, for Erica, the normal thing. Still more in the demanding American Ballet, with more than one hundred annual functions. Training reinforced his to the maximum and grew vertiginously. In experience and technique, like in most important, artistic expression. His ductile personality unfolded openly in all styles and characters, whereas intimately Erica were understanding with depth which not only meant to dance, but to communicate the dance and to shock to the spectator. Its dream was logical, since if had been chosen innumerable times for important personages, wished to be named solista. And by decision of the director of the establishment, Kevin MacKenzie, recently it was promoted to that category, as it deserved it and as they recognized it. He is happy, been thankful, but for that reason it will not remain in this profit; evidently, a great step. Erica is from whom they fight the heart yet to arrive at which wants. Surely, this one is the way that wishes and will follow full, giving the best thing of himself, working more than ever. The joy of its new position causes that it is dancing with euphoria and transferring that iron spirit that it has, since it began in his San native Luis, to give the life to which it is his great love, the ballet.
