Queensland Ballet (QB) has welcomed Cuba’s Victor Estévez to its ranks for the 2016 season. Estévez, who guest starred with QB in 2015’s The Sleeping Beauty, joins the company as a principal dancer.

"We're so pleased to welcome Victor to our Company and I'm sure audiences will greet this news with enthusiasm also," says QB artistic director Li Cunxin. "I first saw Victor dance two years ago at Ballet Nacional de Cuba when we recruited our current principal Yanela Pinera and soloist Camilo Ramos. Victor certainly stood out due to his great charisma, his dynamic musicality and strong technique. He definitely has the X factor as a dancer and is one of the premier dancers in Cuba. Our Company and our audiences will benefit greatly in having Victor as a part of the QB family."

Estévez has performed throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. His career highlights include The Nutcracker, Giselle, Don Quixote, Paquita, Balanchine's Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux and Eduardo Blanco's Tiempo de danzón and Accents.
