First up in our WHERE ARE THEY NOW series is CRB dancer Ruben Medina!

CRB: When did you dance with CRB?
Ruben: I danced with CRB in the Spring of 2015!

CRB: What is a favorite CRB memory?

Ruben: Honestly, I have fond memories of all of it, I was surrounded by my friends from the Chicago community. Wade really helps make this special because he pulls from the Chicago community and that doesn't normally happen too much with companies.

CRB: What was a favorite CRB work to dance?

Ruben: BOLERO! I absolutely loved the craziness and quickness of that work. I had never worked with moving props before and I was in the original cast so it was an amazing process to be a part of its creation.

I also absolutely looooved my costume. :D (it was a black and white hashtag sweater)

CRB: What are you up to now (personally and or professionally)?
Ruben: Since dancing with CRB I have danced with Minnesota Ballet, Nevada Ballet, and presently dance with Norwegian Creative Studios aboard the Norwegian family ships.

I am also a certified personal trainer and an Animal Flow instructor.
