Why Study With Emilio?

• He is a fabulous dancer (and I mean fabulous. It is such a treat to watch him.) This means instant inspiration along with lots of instances to put pictures of him in your mind.

• He is a skilled, patient, and organized teacher. He'll show us cool moves and break them down to make it possible for you to really get them.

• He has been loved by students during past workshops.

• He is a gifted choreographer and so creative. (He was recently awarded first place in the Certamen de Danza Española in Madrid and first place in the 2016 Talent Madrid Contest - That's BIG.) He is also the acting artistic director for Flamenco Vivo.

• He has tons of energy to give to us.

• And, of course, he brings the essence of España and flamenco, that special energía that we just can't get every day (most days) here in Portland.

• He's fun and so, so sweet and giving.
