Monica Cruz Sanchez (born 16 March 1977) is a Spanish actress and dancer. She is the youngest sister of fellow actress Penélope Cruz and Spanish singer Eduardo Cruz.
Monica Cruz was born the daughter of Encarna Sanchez, a hairdresser and Eduardo Cruz, a retailer and auto mechanic. Her sister Penélope Cruz is an actress and her brother Eduardo Cruz is a Spanish singer. Mónica and her two siblings grew up in the predominantly working-class suburb of Alcobendas, just north of the Spanish capital of Madrid. The sisters distinguished themselves as promising young dancers and they both received professional instruction; Penélope attended "Spain’s National Conservatory", while Mónica enrolled in "The Royal Academy of the Dance" to study traditional ballet and flamenco.
Upon graduating from the academy, Mónica joined Joaquín Cortés’ flamenco dance company. She stayed with the company for seven years until, in 2002, she left dancing to pursue a career as an actress. By 2005, Mónica starred in the Spanish television show Un Paso Adelante along side Beatriz Luengo, Miguel Ángel Muñoz, Pablo Puyol and Silvia Marty.
