If you want to know more about my life....

Damaris Hechavarria was born in Santiago de Cuba and began to attend the night school of dance at the Conjunto Folklórico de Oriente, where she made her first dance steps followed by the teacher and choreographer Milagros Ramírez, then moved to Havana and began her career in Folkloric Dances at the Instituto Superior de Artes (1999/2004). During and towards the end of my studies I dedicate myself to dancing with the French-Haitian folklore company Ban Rarrà with the teacher and choreographer Isaias Rojas (2002/2003) and to teaching at CENSEA (academy of music and dance for foreign students).

After my graduation I am part of the cast of specialists of the Havana Theater and Dance Center (organization that groups the professional dance companies that are part of the Ministry of Culture in Cuba 2004/2005) and since 2004 I am part of the cast of the famous "Cabaret Parisien" at the National Hotel of Cuba (second in importance after the musical).
