Though based in Barcelona, Soto\u2019s work is no stranger to BalletX. His pieces, <em>Schachmatt <\/em>and <em>Malasangre<\/em>, have become audience favorites and are toured frequently (next stop Michigan).<\/p>\n<p>Right now, bright salsa music echoes throughout the studio accompanied by the sound of sliding socks. No ballet shoes today. As the dancers glide down the marley, Soto is right there with them. \u201cBa, ba, ba, pow!\u201d he exclaims, while throwing up a dancer\u2019s leg, \u201cyour foot is going to New York!\u201d Indeed, Soto frequently uses onomatopoeias to help the dancers understand his vision. His expressive and charismatic personality fits perfectly with the fast paced energetic choreography. Fanning fingers compliment popping pelvises along with sharp extensions and the deepest of plies. Behind his fun and quirky style, Soto is still serious about what he wants. If the dancers are late, the music will stop. It is hard work to learn so much in such a little time, but the dancers are keeping up. The footwork is so dynamic and spunky they can\u2019t help but smile. He reminds them, \u201cyour body controls you. No matter what you do, make it look unpredictable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0 Violet Giddings, Intern<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Cayetano Soto\u2019s first day in the studio working with the dancers on his world premiere, debuting in Fall. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":8357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[216],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-rehearsal"],"acf":[],"cp_meta_data":{"_edit_lock":["1592517308:5"],"_edit_last":["5"],"_thumbnail_id":["8357"],"slide_template":["default"],"_yoast_wpseo_content_score":["90"],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":["216"],"filter_category":["a:1:{i:0;s:10:\"category-1\";}"],"_filter_category":["field_575000bf40f4b"],"show_donate_baletx_banner":["0"],"_show_donate_baletx_banner":["field_573341c2d686c"],"show_slider_revolution":["0"],"_show_slider_revolution":["field_578755a04f37f"],"slider_revolution_short-code":[""],"_slider_revolution_short-code":["field_578752fb40ad0"],"top_show_dates":[""],"_top_show_dates":["field_576bb0c8af8e4"],"show_dates_period":[""],"_show_dates_period":["field_576bb0c8afcb8"],"numbers_of_premiers":[""],"_numbers_of_premiers":["field_576bb0c8b00d5"],"show_choreographers":[""],"_show_choreographers":["field_576bb0c8b0475"],"page_show_dancers_all":[""],"_page_show_dancers_all":["field_576bb0c8b0848"],"show_schedule_title":[""],"_show_schedule_title":["field_576bb0c8b0fe4"],"show_sidebar_rows":[""],"_show_sidebar_rows":["field_576bb0c8b1375"],"show_sidebar_tickets_title":[""],"_show_sidebar_tickets_title":["field_576bb0c8b1745"],"show_sidebar_tickets_description":[""],"_show_sidebar_tickets_description":["field_576bb0c8b1b34"],"show_sidebar_tickets_link":[""],"_show_sidebar_tickets_link":["field_576bb0c8b1ee1"],"show_sidebar_video_title":[""],"_show_sidebar_video_title":["field_576bb0c8b22b7"],"show_sidebar_video_link":[""],"_show_sidebar_video_link":["field_576bb0c8b2684"],"show_colaborators_section_title":[""],"_show_colaborators_section_title":["field_57767382e42fa"],"show_colaborators_cart":[""],"_show_colaborators_cart":["field_576bb0c8b2e6f"],"show_sponsors_section_title":[""],"_show_sponsors_section_title":["field_57767127e4dee"],"show_mobile_sponsors_carousel":[""],"_show_mobile_sponsors_carousel":["field_576bb0c8b35ed"],"_eael_post_view_count":["1294"],"_elementor_page_assets":["a:0:{}"]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
