History

Choreographer and dancer Juan Miguel Mas founded Danza Voluminosa in 1996. Danza Voluminosa is renowned throughout the world for its originality: Danza Voluminosa is like any other professional dance troupe, only heavier (Mailín Daza, the company’s prima ballerina, weighs in at 130 kilos). Danza Voluminosa’s makes a strong argument for the beauty of big, but not only. The Danza Voluminosa company is composed of dancers who gained weight, retired dancers – all kinds of artists said to be ‘good for nothing’. Juan Miguel Mas is himself no lightweight. He began his dance studies with the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, with a grant from the company’s legendary founder and director, Alicia Alonzo. National Ballet of Cuba (Ballet Nacional de Cuba, is managed by Cuban Prima ballerina assoluta Alicia Alonso and is one of the top ballet Then he went on to study with Danza Contemporanea de Cuba and master choreographer Ramiro Guerra. History Ramiro Guerra is widely known as the grandfather of modern dance in Cuba. In 1996 he created Danza Voluminosa. The idea was born of necessity, as Juan Miguel Mas was only used in special cases. He created for himself the character of the “Giant Baby” but needed more opportunities to perform. Today Danza Voluminosa consists of seven dancers (six women and one man) and director Juan Miguel Mas. The troupe has produced three full-length choreographies, 30 shorter works and has been the subject of a Canadian documentary (“Defying Gravity,” 2004).
