Ihosvany Rodriguez was born in Matanzas, Cuba, where he began his career as a dancer at the age of 10. At age 15 he was accepted into the national ballet school where he continued his studies satisfactorily. After three difficult but beautiful years in the national school, he was accepted into the National Ballet of Cuba (BNC) where he participated in many choreographies and classical ballets, and traveled to several countries such as Italy, Spain, Canada, Uruguay, and Venezuela. In 2009 he went to Venezuela. He danced The Nutcracker and Carmen. Ihosvany danced at the BNC for 3 years and decided to expand his path as a dancer trying his luck out of the country. In the beginning, everything was very difficult but he never lost his faith and hope, so thanks to God he is now making his dream come true.
