companies: Ballet Antolog\u00eda, Ballet del Teatro L\u00edrico de La Zarzuela, Compa\u00f1\u00eda Antonio M\u00e1rquez, Jos\u00e9 Antonio y los Ballets Espa\u00f1oles and Compa\u00f1\u00eda de A\u00edda G\u00f3mez, where he performed as principal dancer in works by Mariemma, Jos\u00e9 Granero, Alberto Lorca, Jos\u00e9 Antonio and Antonio Gades, among others.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Spanish dancer is unique in the world, because Spanish dance has an enormous diversity of styles\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In 1996 he was guest soloist in <em>La Gitana<\/em>, choreographed by Jos\u00e9 Antonio Ruiz and Paul Chalmer, with the Ballet dell\u2019Arena di Verona under the direction of Carla Fracci. His creative calling soon led him to choreography: he took part in the Madrid Spanish Dance and Flamenco Choreography Competition with <em>Suspiro del Moro<\/em> (1995), <em>Movimientos Reversos<\/em> (1996) and <em>Nereidas<\/em> (1999), which won first prize for best choreography and later joined the repertoire of the Spanish National Ballet.<\/p>\n<h2>Spanish National Ballet: from principal dancer to director (2011\u20132019)<\/h2>\n<p>He joined the Spanish National Ballet (Ballet Nacional de Espa\u00f1a, BNE) in 1997, under the direction of Aurora Pons, Nana Lorca and Victoria Eugenia, and three years later was promoted to principal dancer under A\u00edda G\u00f3mez.<\/p>\n<p>From 2011 to 2019 he was <strong>artistic director of the Spanish National Ballet<\/strong>. He kept its historic repertoire alive while opening the company to new creators such as Roc\u00edo Molina, Olga Pericet, Rub\u00e9n Olmo, Mar L\u00f3pez, Arantxa Carmona, Miguel Fuente, Francisco Guerrero and Carmen Cubillo, and to teachers such as Rafaela Carrasco, Javier Latorre, Manuel Li\u00f1\u00e1n, Blanca del Rey, Mercedes Ruiz, La Lupi, Marco Flores and Merche Esmeralda.<\/p>\n<h2>Antonio Najarro Company<\/h2>\n<p>In 2002 he founded his own company, for which he choreographed <em>Tango Flamenco<\/em> (2002), <em>Flamencoriental<\/em> (2006), <em>Jazzing Flamenco<\/em> (2008) and <em>Suite Sevilla<\/em> (2011). After leaving the BNE he returned to his company with <em>Alento<\/em> (2020); <em>Querencia<\/em> (2022), a large-scale production for 16 dancers; and <em>La Argentina en Par\u00eds<\/em>, his tribute to Antonia Merc\u00e9 \u201cLa Argentina\u201d, presented at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid in the 2025\u20132026 season.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNothing happens overnight. If you want to last in the complex world of dance, you have to evolve step by step, with perseverance, discipline and rigour\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Choreographer for Olympic figure skating champions<\/h2>\n<p>Najarro is one of the leading choreographers in figure skating. He created <em>Flamenco<\/em> for the French pair Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat, Olympic gold medallists at Salt Lake City 2002; <em>Poeta<\/em> and <em>Oto\u00f1o Porte\u00f1o<\/em> for Swiss world champion St\u00e9phane Lambiel; and Ernesto Lecuona\u2019s <em>Malague\u00f1a<\/em> for Javier Fern\u00e1ndez, gold at the 2016 World Championships in Boston and the 2017 and 2019 European Championships. At the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, his choreography <em>The Matador and the Bull<\/em> for American ice dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates won the silver medal.<\/p>\n<h2>Ambassador for Spanish dance<\/h2>\n<p>Najarro works to bring Spanish dance beyond the theatre, into fields such as fashion and business. In October and November 2021 he presented and directed the series <em>Un pa\u00eds en danza<\/em> on Spain\u2019s public broadcaster RTVE (La 2).<\/p>\n<h2>Learn Spanish dance with Antonio Najarro<\/h2>\n<p>At Campus Masterclasses, Antonio Najarro created the <a href=\"\/en\/spanish-dance-program\/\"><strong>online Spanish Dance Program<\/strong><\/a>, which brings together <strong>Stylised Spanish Dance (Danza Estilizada), Castanets and Escuela Bolera<\/strong> with Tania Mart\u00edn, Cristina Cazorla and Daniel Ramos.
