My First Post!

Hi bloggers!

My name is Gonzalo Preciado. I´m a professional ballet dancer currently living and working at The Latvian National Ballet in Riga, as you can see by my name, I´m Spanish, I was born in Zaragoza (Spain) where I started my ballet training until I decided to move to London to study at the English National Ballet School, where I graduated 2 years ago, then I came back to Spain to complete my training until last season when I moved to Latvia to join the company.

Now that I have just started my 2nd season with the company I decided to continue my studies, enrolling the BA Honours Degree in Professional Practice in Arts (Part time) at the Middlesex University in London, so this blog has been created due to this course.

As well as being a ballet dancer, my other passion is writing, and since 2014 I have the opportunity to write for the dance magazine, Danza en Escena in Spain. Also I have been always interested in a wider knowledge, especially the relationship between Art and Science, and for my dissertation at my final year at English National Ballet School, I explored that, studying and analysing the work of the British choreographer Wayne McGregor.

Therefore this BAPP Course at Middlesex is perfect for me so I can expand my knowledge in this field, as well as many others. It will be a fascinating process and I hope you enjoy it too with me through this blog!

See you soon!
