Choreography

Daniel’s work “plays entrancingly with gravity— ingeniously stealing it from the physical dimension & infusing it into the emotional realm."

Inspired by the communicative and healing power of dance, movement, and the human body, Daniel explores themes of humanism and solidarity through a natural and humanized approach to ballet.
