Ona Perez Cros
Ona Cros is a multidisciplinary artist from Barcelona. She is currently working as a dancer with the company laSadcum, developing her own music project, and teaching singing and dance.
Her journey began with classical music, theatre, and urban dance, which led her to collaborate with an urban dance company that blended dance and music in various performances throughout Catalonia. This experience brought her closer to an artist who naturally combined multiple disciplines, sparking her interest in the voguing ballroom scene, contemporary dance, and vocal harmony.
In 2019, she met the young choreographer Guillem Jiménez and began working with the company laSadcum. Since then, she has taken part in music videos, fashion films, and multidisciplinary projects.
Last year, she presented her first solo piece in Italy, at the Fagagna Dance Festival and at Invisible Cities in Gorizia, where she brought together all the disciplines she has cultivated over time: dance, music composition, singing, and fashion.
