Malvin Montero

Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (Los Mina). He began his dance career in 2003 at the Alina Abreu Dance Conservatory. He graduated from the National School of Dance of Fine Arts (Endanza) and Pro Danza (Havana). He holds a degree in choreography and dance performance from Rey Juan Carlos University (ISDAl) in Madrid, Spain.

He performed in Cecilia Valdés at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, being part of the first Black ballet in that theater. He also worked as a dancer in the opera Un Ballo in Maschera at the Teatro Real in Madrid, Spain. He was a member of the Dunia Dance Theatre (Belgium) with choreographer Harold George (a répétiteur of Alvin Ailey). Malvin has presented numerous original works on contemporary theater stages in Madrid. As a creator, dancer, and director, he has an extensive professional trajectory encompassing classical academic dance, contemporary dance, improvisation, and free improvisation, trained under composer Chefa Alonso. A key focus of his creative work is exploring diasporic corporeality and its imaginaries.

He directs the platform Zebra Prieta and was a finalist and award-winner at the 35th Madrid Choreographic Contest in 2021 with his piece El mal comío no piensa. In his poetic work, Dominican choreographer and director Malvin Montero Puerca de Goma focuses on the movements, speech, and everyday practices of Caribbean peoples, specifically the Caribbean diaspora living in the Iberian Peninsula.
