Dayron is a multifaceted artist whose passion for photography complements his aesthetic vision and stage sensibility, always faithful to his artistic identity and unique style.

Dayron Vera, Director and Professor at Corella, has built an outstanding international career in the world of classical ballet. His training began at the Escuela Vocacional de Arte in Matanzas, Cuba, and continued at the prestigious Escuela Nacional de Ballet in Havana, where he distinguished himself early on by winning bronze and silver medals at the International Ballet Students Competition.

In 2004, he graduated as a professional dancer and joined the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, where he quickly rose to the rank of Principal Dancer. During his time with the company, he performed key roles in the classical repertoire, consolidating his presence in the Cuban and international scene.

In 2010, he took a turn in his career by joining the Víctor Ullate Ballet Comunidad de Madrid and, that same year, he joined the Corella Ballet, under the direction of Ángel Corella, as principal dancer.

There he enriched his repertoire with works by great classical and contemporary choreographers, taking his art to stages all over the world.

In 2014, he was invited as Principal Dancer of the Alberta Ballet of Canada, and that same year he participated in the successful Spanish tour A + A, together with Ángel Corella and his wife Carmen and the virtuoso violinist Ara Malikian.

In addition to his career as a performer, Dayron has developed an intense vocation for artistic photography, combining his deep knowledge of movement and body expression with a unique aesthetic gaze.

Currently, he directs Corella with his wife, Carmen Corella, from where he continues to transmit his experience as a dancer and is responsible for the spectacular aesthetics in the images of the students and the Corella project.

At the same time, he has been trained in the integral care of the body through movement, becoming a certified instructor of GYROTONIC® Level 1, GYROTONIC® for Dancers Level 1 and GYROKINESIS® Level 1.

It is crucial to create a safe space where they can express themselves without fear of judgment. Actively listening and validating their emotions allows them to feel understood and supported, which is crucial for their emotional development.

Physical preparation for a dancer is essential to improve performance, avoid injury and sustain a long-lasting career. Dance requires strength, flexibility, endurance and control, so balanced training that includes several aspects is crucial.

It is a great privilege to have uniforms with our own designs and tailoring, and professional artistic costumes which allows a unique creative freedom, accurately reflecting our vision.

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."
Nietzsche
