About

This short portrait follows the Étoile ballet dancer José Martinez in rehearsal at the Paris Opera House.

This film presents a captivating portrait of José Martinez, the sole Spanish star dancer of the National Opera of Paris. Martinez received his earliest training in the Bolero style of classical Spanish dance, and came to France while still in his teens to study classical dance at the Rosella Hightower Institute in Cannes. He soon distinguished himself in international competitions, notably in Lausanne, which earned him an invitation to join the National Opera of Paris.
