SCREEN TEST

ANDRES ZUNIGA

With both parents in the medical field, Andres Zuniga saw the same path for himself until a performance of Balanchine works and encounter with his most revered muse veered his aspirations towards the NYCB stage. While the city has incited Andres' preference for expediency on the sidewalk, he takes a decidedly relaxed approach to his pre-performance preparations.

HONORS

In 2017, as a student at SAB, Mr. Zuniga received the Mae L. Wien Award and the Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists.
