Originally from Paraguay, she has danced for various ballet, contemporary and modern dance companies in Paraguay, Argentina and the United States. She is a certified Comprehensive Pilates Instructor by BASI (Body Arts and Science International). Her encounter with Tango has fostered yet another twist in her never-ending journey of exploring new ways of moving and expressing. She joined Tango dancer Nick Jones in an artistic partnership that forms NaturalTango, an ensemble of Tango Dance and Music —Miss Cruz is a singer in the Orquesta Típica NaturalTango directed by bandoneonist Nick Jones— that has toured and continues touring North America (USA, Canada), South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Diana is a dancer, artistic collaborator and board member of Parasol Arts, a non-profit organization for the promotion of the Tango arts, based in Denver, CO. She has also directed and produced several dance stage productions with NaturalTango and Cruzial A (her solo project). With photographer Marie-Dominque Verdier they are working on an ongoing photographic project (2016-currently) called "Tango Temperaments", a narrative through the camera lenses, capturing emotions and fugitive gestures in different space-times around the world. Diana Cruz incorporates her multidisciplinary techniques (Ballet, Contemporary Dance, Modern Dance, Latin American Folk Dance, Tango, Pilates, Yoga, Vocal Training, Singing) into one cohesive dance. She uses these techniques to create powerful, musical and unique performances. Her continued study and learning of biomechanics gives her an astute approach as a movement educator. She has a degree in Psychology, a study that has enhanced her understanding of the human mind-body dynamic. Miss Cruz has created her own line of Tango dance shoes for women, under the name Cruzartango.
