Biography: Education and professional experience 

    Neus started dancing at the age of six, and trained in classical, contemporary and spanish dance. 
    She obtained her diploma in classical dance at the Professional Conservatory of Dance in Valencia in 2001, and carried on training thereafter at the Maria Carbonell Center in Valencia, and at Carmen Roche Ballet school in Madrid. 
    In 2005 Neus joined the Rotterdam Dance Academy, where she graduated in 2007, having performed pieces by Megumi Nakamura and Steven Shropshire amongst others.

    In 2006 Neus was  selected for an apprenticeship with Dance Works Rotterdam, becoming a full company member in 2007.  
With Dance Works Rotterdam, Neus performed in many pieces by the artistic director and choreographer Ton Simons, as well as guest choreographers such as Dana Caspersen, Sjoerd Vreughdenhil and Steven Petronio.

    In 2009 Neus left Rotterdam and joined National Dance Company Wales, under the artistic direction of Ann Sholem. 
With NDCWales, Neus performed in pieces by Ohad Naharin, Itzic Galili, Andonis Foniadakis, Angelin Preljocaj, Steven Petronio and Eleesha Drennan. 
In 2012 Neus received a Training Grant from the Arts Council of Wales for the Gaga Summer Intensive course in Tel Aviv led by Batsheva Dance Company. 

     Neus joined Hofesh Shechter Company from June 2014 to April 2015, performing  "Sun", "Political Mother" and "Political Mother, the Choreographer's Cut" by Hofesh Shechter

    She is currently a freelance dancer in U.K., working with choreographers such as Luca Silvestrini, Gwyn Emberton, Theo Clinkard and Ben Duke, amongst others.

Critics
"NDCW is very much an ensemble company, but I was particularly struck by the assertive performance of Neus Gil Cortés, yet another footsoldier in the Spanish invasion of British dance"
The Observer, Luke Jennings Sunday 19 June 2011    Click here to read the full article

 "The first Bolero is an electric female duet between show-stealer Annabeth Berkeley and an intense Neus Gil Cortes. The dynamic pair create a vital attack on the senses, the crescendo building into the tribal all-male Black Milk"
