Eduardo Jiménez Cabrera (He/Him) was raised in Cartago, Costa Rica, where he felt an undeniable attraction to movement practices. This led him to begin his dance training at the age of 15. It would be 5 years later, in 2020, when he decided to move to Philadelphia, PA in pursuit of furthering his dance education. Eduardo is currently a senior pursuing his BFA in Dance at The University of the Arts under the direction of Donna Faye Burchfield, who granted him the Director’s Full Scholarship Award. He was a part of BigKid Dance, led by Mark Caserta (in Philadelphia) and Bocatuya, directed by Omar Román de Jesús (in New York). He has also worked with Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary arts collective Tribe, under the direction of Shamel Pitts. Eduardo joined Ballet BC in 2023 as an emerging artist. He has had the chance to perform works by Shahar Binyamini, William Forsythe, Out Innerspace, Micaela Taylor, Medhi Walerski, Imre and Manre Van Opstal, Annie Rigney, Sidra Bell, Paxton Ricketts, Mark Caserta, Omar Román de Jesús and Jesse Zarrit. Eduardo is thrilled to be working with Ballet BC for his second season, this time as a company member.
