Originally from Panama, Ana Isabel “Chabi” Arauz now resides in Toronto, as a Company Dancer with Ballet Jörgen. She graduated from George Brown College’s Dance Performance program, where she was able to train under many great teachers, like Hiroto Saito, Daniel Da Silva and Laetitia Clement. The program also allowed her to work with renowned choreographers like Hanna Kiel, Alyssa Martin, Jose Carret and Derek Sangster. After George Brown, Chabi joined Ballet Jörgen for a year as a Mentorship student, where she was able to learn firsthand from the company’s dancers. As a dancer with the company, she’s had the opportunity to perform multiple roles like the Canary Fairy in Sleeping Beauty, Trillium Flower in The Nutcracker and Hermia in a Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Chabi is looking forward to another season of dancing and community work with Ballet Jorgen.
