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.
