Juan Carlos Blanco
Juan Carlos Blanco Riera was born and raised in Havana, Cuba, where he performed with several professional companies for over 15 years before coming to the U.S. As a youth, he started his dance career with the community based cultural arts groups Cumballé and Oba Ilú in his hometown of Guanabacoa, both companies directed by founder of the Conjunto Folklorico Nacional , Oriol Bustamante. He later on joined one of Cuba's most respected folkloric companies Raices Profundas ("deep roots”), directed by Juan de Dios Ramos. He spent 9 years with Raices Profundas rising to the level of lead male soloist and touring Latin American and Asia.
Mr. Blanco’s desire to deepen and broaden his knowledge of his cultural expression drove him to become involved with several diverse arts groups in Havana. He performed with Teatro de la Havana in a number of theatricalplays. He danced, acted and choreographed with Arte Popular, a popular theatre company directed by Tito Junco. Mr. Blanco performed with the innovative modern dance company Alabama. He also spent several years working with the Franco-Haitian company Ban Rra Rrá, directed by Isaias Rojas Ramirez, as percussionist and instructor of Afro-Cuban dance. While in Cuba, he was charged with the responsibility of training both professional Cuban dancers and educating foreign students through the Instituto Superior de Arte and the Ecuela Nacional de Arte.
