179 Plays24 days ago
Felix Molinero Del Paso of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo joins The Brainy Ballerina Podcast ahead of the company’s February 26th performance at the Overture Center in Madison, WI.
Raised in Spain and later trained at the collegiate level in Germany, Felix shares the bold email he sent that led to a life-changing opportunity with the world-renowned all-male ballet company.
Known for parodying the conventions of classical ballet while maintaining exceptional technical standards, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo requires its dancers to master both male and female roles, on and off pointe.
Felix pulls back the curtain on the training demands, the artistry behind comedic ballet, the realities of touring life, and the creative personas he embodies onstage, proving that ballet can be both technically brilliant and wildly entertaining.
Key "Pointes" from this Episode:
• How Felix’s ballet training in Spain and Germany prepared him for a professional career
• The email that led to his audition and eventual contract with Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo
• What makes The Trocks unique in the ballet world
• Training for both male and female roles, including dancing on pointe
• The skill required to balance high-level technique with comedic timing
• The realities and challenges of being part of a touring company
• The development of his onstage personas “Holly Dey-Abroad” and “Bruno Backpfeinfengesicht”
• How comedic ballet attracts new and nontraditional audiences to the art form

Introduction to Dance and Joy
00:00:00
Speaker
not only the position and not only the technique. We have to be smiling every single time because the most important thing for us is to give joy to the people who is watching us. It's not only to show that we are great dancers, but I think for us the most important thing is that they leave the theatre with a smile on their faces.
The Brand New Ballerina Podcast
00:00:22
Speaker
I'm Caitlin, a former professional ballerina turned dance educator and career mentor, and this is the Brand New Ballerina podcast. I am here for the aspiring professional ballerina who wants to learn what it really takes to build a smart and sustainable career in the dance industry.
00:00:38
Speaker
I'm peeling back the curtain of the professional dance world with open and honest conversations about the realities of becoming a professional dancer. Come along to gain the knowledge and inspiration you need to succeed in a dance career on your terms.
00:00:56
Speaker
Hello and welcome to the Brainy Ballerina podcast. I'm your host, Caitlin Sloan, and I am joined today by Felix Molinero de Paso.
Interview with Felix from Le Ballet Trocadero
00:01:04
Speaker
Felix is a dancer with Le Ballet Trocadero de Monte Carlo, the world's foremost gender-skewering comic ballet company.
00:01:13
Speaker
The Trox are a company of professional male dancers performing all of the roles, and in the case of roles traditionally danced by women, they are danced on travesty and on points. I am local to Madison, Wisconsin, and we are thrilled to have the Trox touring to the Overture Center for one night only on Thursday, February 26th, and I am so honored to partner with the Overture Center to share this interview to help audiences in my area and anyone who is on the tour schedule for the tracks to learn more about both the company and about Felix.
00:01:47
Speaker
So a Felix, I always love to start by asking my guests, why did you take your very first dance class? So hello to everybody. It's a pleasure for me to be here.
00:01:58
Speaker
And actually it's very funny history. So what happened is since I was a little kid, currently I have a big passion. When i was outing weddings or beer like events, when the music started, I was going all the way into the center of the the dance stage and start to dance by myself.
00:02:17
Speaker
since I was like four or five. And my parents at some point decided like, hey, would you like to to try for a school dance and and see what happened?
Felix's Dance Journey
00:02:27
Speaker
And I said, yeah, sure. well Why not? I like to dance. So, I mean, I was like seven, eight years old. So I was i was curious. I was a person who loves sports all my life. So I have done tennis. I have done volleyball. have done many, many different things. So at that point of my life, I was of course, okay, let's give it a try.
00:02:46
Speaker
So in order to to join the the dance school, they do like a physical exam, so where they see your capacities, you know, your your skills. And I have the best score possible. And I said, of course, let's give it a try.
00:03:02
Speaker
Okay. And then from there, what was your training like growing up? So it has been it has been launch so I joined what it's called in Spain, the Conservatory of of Dance and Music.
00:03:15
Speaker
And during the first four years, in the elementary ah years, we do a a different type of dance, like there were involved ballet, contemporary, flamenco and Spanish dance. After those four years, you need to decide in which one you want to like really like take it all the way in. So you can decide from ballet, for contemporary, for flamenco, from Spanish dance.
00:03:43
Speaker
So i have an exam that I passed and I was able to join the kind of like the mid school for ballet. So i was trained for six years.
00:03:54
Speaker
And after that, I sadly in Spain, we don't have like a bachelor degree of dance sadly.
Training and Joining Trocadero
00:04:00
Speaker
So I moved all the way to Frankfurt in Germany and we have an audition and I was lucky enough to be part of the Frankfurt University for musical and performing arts.
00:04:13
Speaker
For three years, continued my studies doing ballet, contemporary improv, contact improv. have done variations, technical skills with the most incredible people around the world.
00:04:29
Speaker
And now on my last year, i was lucky enough that Trocadero was touring in Germany, in a city not that far from Frankfurt. So I sent an email.
00:04:40
Speaker
They answered me, hey, sure, if you want to take a class with us? I was supposed to stay for a day, but at the end, I stayed the whole week. And when we finished, they gave me the option to to join them.
00:04:53
Speaker
So before that, had you already been training on pointe? Well, and the funny thing, everything actually came because of my last year, I have the privilege to work with Andrea Talis, which it was she was a principal in San Francisco Valley. She was the person that William Forsythe trusted the most because she worked with him for so many years.
00:05:15
Speaker
And she told me once, Hey Felix, you like you have a very nice work on your feet. So what do you think about starting to use point shoes to continue on developing your your technique? And I was like,
00:05:28
Speaker
it First of all, my first question was like, i'm i'm is it okay if I start to use pointe shoes? Nobody is going to be any complaining. No, of course we are in a bachelor degree at this point. and So of course it is a training thing and I think it could be very helpful.
00:05:45
Speaker
So i saw I did a couple of classes with the girls. And they i started to to discover a little bit of how the pointe shoe works and how hard i realized how hard it is to go ah way to go on and go up on those shoes. and um At some point she told me, Felix, do you have do you know about Trocadero, about the trucks? And i was like, of course, who doesn't know what Trocadero is.
00:06:13
Speaker
And she said, why do you don't just send in an email? Because she wasn't even sure where the base location was. she She thought it was, you know, everybody thinks like, so Ballet Trocadero is in Monte Carlo, that the base is in Monte Carlo.
00:06:26
Speaker
And that's what she actually thought. And... um Just write an email. There is nothing to lose. Just give it a try. And I was at the beginning and I was like, I think it's a waste of time. what yeah i know what is going to be the answer. it' not going to happen. And she was like behind my back a little bit like for almost two or three weeks. And she and my colleagues like really encouraged me.
00:06:51
Speaker
And I trust them. And I sent an email and that's how it happened. Did you always see yourself join a company like this?
Living the Dream with Trocadero
00:07:01
Speaker
you know not at all loud This was a dream come true.
00:07:06
Speaker
I was so happy when I got the chance to join them. But of course, it's like, you know, since you are a little kid and you see these incredible and ballet dancers, female, mean, doesn't matter, ah you know, Royal Ballet, you see American Ballet, which is the dream of every single kid. At those times, you think that it feels like it's going to be unreachable. It's going to be always the dream, but it's never going to come true.
00:07:31
Speaker
So when I sent the email and I got the answer, just the fact that they invited me to take class, was i was like in shock. I was like, oh, it's once in a life opportunity. I have to take it. and You know, once I was so nervous the first time I was there with them, taking classes with them and see how these incredible dancers, this incredible crew were working and performing. And they were up for a full week in this city, in Leipzig, it was the name if I remember well enough, performing. And I had the privilege to take class with them and see their journey for a full week, every single night performing from Monday to Saturday with double show on Friday.
00:08:10
Speaker
And was like, how in the world are they doing this? Like every single night. And i was mesmerized. So I pushed myself, I tried my best. And when we end that week and Tori gave me the opportunity, I was like, I couldn't believe it. that the fellow was like, this is a joke. Like I'm a dream. Like, but yeah, and after so many years, I'm still here and still loving this process and this very special journey. I think this is once in a lifetime opportunity that I think you really have to take it all the way in um and live it fully. Because i think once um I will be older, i want to really look back and see how privileged and how honored and how incredible has been this journey.
Training and Performance Preparation
00:08:57
Speaker
Having to dance both types of roles, on point and not on point, male, female, is there a different way that you train as a company or take class during the week to be able to do all those things?
00:09:09
Speaker
Well, in this case, Rafael Mora, which is our ballet master, is the he creates the classes in order to be able to perform both of them, so the female they or the male. Because even in on the same show, depends on the ballet, you might be on point or you might be on flat.
00:09:26
Speaker
So you really have to be ready for for that show ah or whatever you we are performing that night. So it's he really creates those classes in order to, that everybody's ready. it doesn't matter if he's going to be on point or if he's going to be in Demi Point.
00:09:42
Speaker
And it's very important for us to warm up good before really going to the show because we have our class, we space and they send us to our, because we do our own makeup and that normally they gave us between hour an hour and a half and two hours. You really need to, you know, to spend that time between the makeup, be completely ready and really take your time to warm up for everything that it's gonna, you know, you are gonna perform that night.
00:10:11
Speaker
Is it challenging to be part of a touring company where you're in a different theater very often?
Touring Challenges and Joys
00:10:17
Speaker
i mean, being can completely honest, 100% honest, for me, it it is a challenge. Because, you know, you go out on tour for one month, two months, three weeks, it doesn't matter. But we are most of the time traveling. Your life is divided between planes, buses, planes.
00:10:37
Speaker
Suitcases, hotels. And so you really don't have a journey. We we have four rehearsals in New York, but once they're done, we go on tour and sometimes could be two weeks, one week, three weeks.
00:10:50
Speaker
So we are all the time traveling. In my case, I love traveling and I love discovering new places. It doesn't matter if it's the US, it's Canada, it's Europe, it's Africa, it doesn't matter. I really love discovering new new places, new cultures.
00:11:05
Speaker
But at the same time, I have to say it's very it's hard. It's very hard. And suddenly one day you're New York and the next day you are you wake up in Tokyo and it's, don't know, six hours less than in New York. So your body has that this jet lag thing you need to get able to to adapt. or Sometimes we perform on the top of a mountain where pressure is very high. So the oxygen is very low. So your body has to read that to all those situations. And sometimes we don't have that much time. It's really, you are arrive there and the next day you perform and the next day you ah catch a plane or a vase, as I said.
00:11:41
Speaker
So it's a hard journey. It's not for everybody, but I'm very glad and happy because as I said before, I love traveling, I love to discover and doing it first of all kind of for free and doing what I love.
00:11:54
Speaker
You know, I love my job. I love what I do. So having those things together, i don't know, I'm i'm very blessed for that. Do you have any practical advice for dancers who may be going on tour to help them be able to deal with some of those challenges?
Advice for Aspiring Dancers
00:12:09
Speaker
Definitely, what something that I have lived through my own experience is like every time that I go back to home to Spain and I go to my conservatory and I see these kids that are in fifth and sixth grade, which is the last two grades before they are graduated.
00:12:24
Speaker
I tell them that first of all, it's so important to warm up that they they take the enough time before class to really warm up their body, each different group of muscles, from their feet, their toes, their hands, their knees, everything is so important that they feel, they they don't go to the bar rep directly, no, that show us on the studio of five minutes before and they just go on to take the classes. Because once you become older,
00:12:50
Speaker
you realize how important are those things to warm up first and after every single class is very important to stretch. To stretch because I'm saying from a place where i was somebody that i didn't care about warming up or stretch.
00:13:07
Speaker
And once I turned 20, now I'm 28. Once I turned 20, I started to realize that my body wasn't able to recover as it was supposed to because I was like, I'm 20. How is it possible? and After all these years starting to really like warm up and stretch, I was like, I wish I started before doing all of this. And probably my body would be even in a better place than it right now. Because it really helps to prevent injuries.
00:13:37
Speaker
Your body's going to be more ready to any situation. Because you know, you you go to stage and during the performance, anything can happen. Somebody can get injured, the curtain falls, ah there is an issue with water, not with the costumes, anything. So you have to be ready to go for everything. So it's very important to be aware of your area and everything that is going around you.
00:14:03
Speaker
And I think be prepared for any situation is part of our job. So I really encourage to every single kid, a pre-professional person that wants to approach to become a professional dancer, to really like take care of their bodies, what they eat, what they drink, because it's a very short career. we are not going to be 50 unless we are Bobby, you know, who who is a legend in the company.
00:14:28
Speaker
But aside of him, it's and it's so unusual. So we should be we really take care and give a lot of love to our body so we can be ready for anything.
00:14:41
Speaker
As a dancer in this company, you take on the task of performing one of your dual fursonas, either the male or female fursona every night, along with the role of the ballet that you are
Humor and Fursonas in Ballet
00:14:52
Speaker
cast in. Can you share more about your fursonas?
00:14:56
Speaker
It's a very funny thing when I joined and discovered all of this, because I wasn't aware that they have their own, you know, ballerina male dancers name. I was like, what is going on? What what is all this about? And so when I discovered that I was, well, my name in this case Holiday Abroad. I'm a male person, it's Bruno Bach Fefeingesig.
00:15:19
Speaker
And I was like, who who comes out with these names? Who decided? And I heard that it was story decision. And later on, I discovered that every single name, every single person has a small biography description of their characters.
00:15:36
Speaker
And ah first of all, I'm the first holiday abroad of the company. When I read down my biography, because basically what they say about Holly is that Miss Holiday Abraff lacks of the intelligence and the talent to be able to perform.
00:15:52
Speaker
And since she's missing this intelligence and lack of talent, she does not realize that she's not good for dancing. But suddenly she auditioned for Tricadero and she joined.
00:16:05
Speaker
it's very like, kind of like, what is going on? And kind of the the history with Bruno Fafengisik is He's like and German, well actually, the thing is like it means like kind of a you get sick in German.
00:16:18
Speaker
So it's very funny story. So apparently he's a guy who had a lot of money, but he betrayed their colleagues to to be able to get all the money for himself.
00:16:28
Speaker
So he's very ambitious and person and he just liked to dance as well. So it's a very like... nonsense thing, but it makes it so funny because every single one of us, we have very they have very funny names. Like they we have Helen Highwaters or we have Olga Suposova or Alex Nitsuba. Like every single of those names are like very funny, very hilarious. And each one of them, they have their own background history.
00:16:57
Speaker
So it it was very interesting. I don't know how actually they came out with this idea of giving names to to us, but I think it makes us, you know, it's just you go on stage and I'm not anymore Felix. I'm, depends if I'm the female, the male character, I'm Holly, I'm Bruno.
00:17:15
Speaker
So I'm trying to get in the mind um how Holly will perform Swan Lake tonight or how Bruno is going to perform the Prince in Raimunda tonight. So really like i listen to what Holly and what Bruno they are feeling that night and I try to give my best every time that we out to stage.
00:17:37
Speaker
How do you balance the comedic elements with the ballet technique in your performance?
Balancing Technique and Humor
00:17:43
Speaker
That's probably, I think, the biggest challenge that Trocadero has because if you go into, you know, more, let's say, let's call it more regular ballet or traditional ballet dance company, your job is to be focused on the technical aspects, you know, to performing, to deliver the best that you can.
00:18:02
Speaker
But in Chocadero, it's not only about the technique, it's about showing because we use this old time ballet and we take them to the extreme level. For example, Paquita, all the positions that we have, they are in extreme position compared to any regular ballet dance company.
00:18:20
Speaker
Those positions, you are not going to see it any other company than us. not only the position and not only the technique. We have to be smiling every single time because the the most important thing for us is to give joy to the people who is watching us. It's not only to show that we are great dancers.
00:18:38
Speaker
that we we Of course, we're going to show them and it's important. But I think for us, the most important thing is that they leave the theatre with a smile on their faces and they have a great time with us because we have a very diverse audience.
00:18:55
Speaker
That's the good thing about Trocadero because it's not ah only, we are okay, we are going to see another scene of Swan Lake. Because you can see different ballets. You can see them in Royal Ballet. You can see them in American Ballet Theater.
00:19:09
Speaker
But the way that we deliver those ballets are unique. There's nobody in the business that does. what we do. So we have to have in mind that and really like, so we really need to perform in the best way possible, not only the technique side, but the, you know, the humor, the parody, the comedy side of that, the actor that is inside of us, because we want to communicate something not only with our bodies, ah with our technique, with our dance, is with our own selves to give them the best that we can to every single one of them.
00:19:44
Speaker
If you're a dancer who's feeling lost, overwhelmed, or even just unsure about your next career step, I am here for you. As a former professional ballet dancer turned dance career mentor, I help dancers get clear on what they really want out of their careers and build a real, actionable strategy to get them there.
00:20:03
Speaker
Whether you need help setting goals, planning for auditions, navigating mindset blocks, or or just having someone in your corner who gets what you're going through and can hold you accountable, mentorship can make all the difference.
00:20:17
Speaker
If you're curious about whether working with a dance career mentor is the right fit for you, i offer a complimentary career consultation so we can talk through your unique goals and challenges.
00:20:28
Speaker
Just head to the show notes to schedule your consultation and let's build the dance career you've been dreaming about.
00:20:35
Speaker
Do you think that parody and humor are really effective ways to make classical ballet more accessible for people who maybe have not seen ballet earth who think ballet is too elitist for them?
Parody in Ballet for Accessibility
00:20:47
Speaker
hundred percent. I think, as I said before, we have a very diverse audience, not only in terms of age, because we can see or show people from kids, from more adult people, but ah Everybody is able to see the trucks for two reasons.
00:21:04
Speaker
First is because you can be a lover of ballet. So you're going to have a good time watching us doing the big ballets, you know, Fun Lake, Nutcracker, Paquita. And at the same time, since we do humor and we do jokes inside of our shows, maybe somebody that is like, well, I don't really care much about ballet, but somebody can say, it's not only ballet, guys, like those guys are comedy actors. They they really ah do jokes during the show and they they make you laugh. They really make you have ah a laugh during the show and they're like, okay.
00:21:36
Speaker
So that gives us a chance to have a more diverse audience, as I said before, and um we are more able to reach more people in that sense.
00:21:47
Speaker
I think it's very important so people can see a different size from ballet and not only seeing from the side of, okay, so it's going to be a very, you know, it's only going to be about ballet. It's not all only about the ballet. It's about give the people who come to see us the best time possible.
00:22:07
Speaker
And that they see something that they're not going to anywhere else. And that they see, our because we only do not perform one ballet, so we do different acts of ballet. So they give we give them a diverse show.
00:22:21
Speaker
And every single night is going to be a different ballet, or at least they're not, all the ballets are going to be the same. So we give a chance to to the audience to see different areas and different a type of vallets in a different perspective from what they could expect to be delivered for another company.
00:22:41
Speaker
Do you have any favorite comedians that you take inspiration from? Well, of course, I have a very like, in my case, I have from Spain, I have very like a couple of comedians, like actors that normally they perform comedy. They are very good and very funny.
00:22:58
Speaker
But mostly, to be honest, in order to deliver my character, it was more, yeah, more related to what I did feel since I started to...
00:23:10
Speaker
to to work in this company, like how this character was gonna get through, you know, the journey and through the years after, because I joined back in 2019. So it has been a while.
00:23:23
Speaker
So i have seen different, you know, different faces from Holly and different faces of Bruno. It has been a lot of having my own exercise with myself.
00:23:35
Speaker
trying to discover what else can I reach from from then and what else I can show to the audience that they haven't seen from Holly or word how Holly is feeling every single night and what this character wants to communicate that night. It depends on the night, it depends on what we are performing.
00:23:57
Speaker
And we do a lot of swan legs, but for me, every single swan leg, is it feels different. if Not only because how your body is feeling, it's how your emotional state is feeling that day because it's part of how you perform in this case. since We have a very, we have these those personas, they are influenced by how that day I'm feeling and how I'm going to deliver those roles. So of course, i think it's, it was important to discover myself through those personas and probably
00:24:30
Speaker
The holiday abroad is going to happen. It's going to perform tonight. It doesn't have anything in common with the holiday that performed four years ago. When you come on your tour to Madison, Wisconsin, and we see you here, what roles will you be performing and what should audiences expect to see?
Upcoming Performances and Roles
00:24:47
Speaker
So if I'm completely sure, definitely we are going to perform Swan Lake. I'm going to be Swan number one. So I'm going to right at the front since we started.
00:24:58
Speaker
I'm going to perform Four Little Swans, which is a special from the Swan Lake from Chocatero. It's a unique thing that everybody are expecting to see. We will be performing as well, at Pequita, which is aba a Spanish ballad kind of. It was created during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte and it takes part in a city from Spain called Zaragoza.
00:25:21
Speaker
which is a very glamorous, for me, it's actually the big star ballet from the company. It's my favorite one from the repertoire of Trocadero. I think the most joyful one, because we have our necklace pieces with our earrings, with our crowns. So it's a very special one. And I think it's one that the audience love to see.
00:25:45
Speaker
And it's a surprise, so I cannot really say everything that we're going to perform, but I'm just going to say that on the second part of the show, there's going to be some surprises that I hope everybody Madison are ready and expected to seek.
00:25:59
Speaker
Do you have a favorite role that you've ever performed in the company? Favorite role? Hmm, good question. I have favorite ballets, but for example, I'm each character, each each ballet, each character or from each ballet, they give me something different that other roles does not give it to me.
00:26:20
Speaker
So in my case, as I said, Paquita probably is my favorite one from the repertoire of Trocaduro. But every single of those roles give me something different. Like I have i have the privilege in Swan Lake to almost have done every single spot as since the The Prince, since any of the Swan corps I have done, Big Swan. I have done Benno. Benno is one of the most hilarious and funny ones to have.
00:26:46
Speaker
I have done The Prince in Ramonda, which is another role that I really enjoyed. In the more did the technical side, probably one of the hardest challenge is to to perform a Pas de 4, which is ah a big ballet from the company. And i have the privilege to have done ah Lucille Graham, which have a very hard and tough variation. is ah It's a tough ballet, but every single one of them are special and they always have a special place in my heart.
00:27:13
Speaker
Last question I have for you that I like to ask all of my guests.
Encouragement for Aspiring Dancers
00:27:17
Speaker
If you could give aspiring pre-professional dancers who are pursuing their dance career one piece of advice, what would you tell them?
00:27:25
Speaker
Well, definitely they they need to follow their dreams. In this world, we are probably going have more no's than yes. So we cannot stop pursuing our our dreams. It's a very hard world is not only about the dance world. If you go to singers, to actors, the art world is a very complicated world where I think sadly doesn't have and the support that we should have. So it's very a challenging world because there is, first of all, each new generation, it's coming more talented, more creative.

Speaker
those, I see these guys, you know, in these competitions and I'm like, oh my God, like 10 years ago, the 15 years old guys were not performing, not only in the technical way, on the artistic way, as good as they are doing this new generation of kiddos performing. And I'm like, I'm mesmerizing. I'm like, how a 15 years, for example, is let's put an example, like how 15 years old girl can perform and deliver the emotion of Giselle variation, which has a very important, you know, very delicate way of being performed. And these kids with 14, 15 years old, it's not only about technique, it's like, how in the world? So it's ah it's getting more challenging. So I think um
00:28:51
Speaker
It's very important that they believe in their dreams, that they they believe in their themselves, that they should not, you know, just after try or two tries, they start to pursue in their dreams. They really need to go all the way in They have to work very hard because mostly, let's say 90% the entire career is about how hard is your work.
00:29:15
Speaker
And of course, there is a side where, you know, lack the natural talent that you have, of course, that helps. But it's the most important thing is your work, your dedication, your passion, your focus.
00:29:28
Speaker
And as I said, in your life, you are going have many more no's than yes's. So you should not stop believing in yourself and really try your best and um really think that at some point, somewhere, there's going to be a spot for you. Definitely.
00:29:47
