Resumen
En el marco del III Encuentro Internacional Artístico Humanista 2017 celebrado en la ciudad de Heredia, San Carlos, Limón y Guanacaste en el mes de abril, se invitó al maestro de ballet argentino Cecilio Casas para que comentara las experiencias que, a lo largo de más de 40 años de vivir en nuestra tierra, ha desarrollado. Ingresó a Costa Rica en el año 1970, en una época de gran efervescencia, donde se estaba transformando el país a través del estado benefactor. El Ministerio de Cultura comenzaba a dar sus primeros pasos. Y en el campo del ballet clásico era escasa y de manera privada la presencia, solamente estaban Flor del Carmen Montalbán con su estudio y Roberto Snobaal, impartiendo danzas españolas y folclore latinoamericano. En aquella época el ballet clásico era un campo muy poco trabajado, el ímpetu de este maestro y las ganas de dedicarse a la enseñanza lo invitaron a quedarse, con la firme convicción de que se podía realizar un trabajo serio, responsable y creativo para desarrollar la disciplina que se requería para alcanzar su propósito de impartir lecciones de ballet clásico, a la mayor cantidad de personas.
