CJ Bernal

BFA in Fine and Performing Arts, Naropa University

Originally from Taos, New Mexico. After graduating from Chamisa Mesa High School in 2007, CJ relocated to Boulder, Colorado as freshman at Naropa University pursuing a Bachelors Degree in the Fine and Performing Arts. Throughout his high school and college years till today CJ has dedicated his life to the Creation of Performance in the areas of dance, acting and voice. Undergoing teachings in several different techniques and genres of dance; from Martha Gram, Horton, Classical Ballet, Hip Hop, Modern, Post-modern and Contemporary dance, CJ continues to embrace as many forms of dance as he can to expand his vocabulary as an artist, dancer, choreographer and educator. After working professionally as a dancer and choreographer the last four years in companies and troupes such as Motion Underground, Dancing Earth, Frequent Flyers, and Naropa's BFA ensemble, CJ has returned to Taos to continue his work as a performing artist. CJ has taught summer workshops at local schools in Taos, as well as classes at the Denver Community Dance Collective and the Boulder CDC. Using the raw physicality of the human form, CJ has been inspired to use bodily impulse, voice, dreams, visions, diversity and reality of everyday human interaction as a muse to create bold and exciting dance. Currently residing in Taos, CJ Bernal is working to spread his knowledge and art of dance with the community, in hopes to expand the importance of movement to others
