An acknowledged international artist in constant demand, Emilio has colaborated with Miguel Ángel Rojas, Carlos Rodríguez, Domingo Ortega, Angel Rojas and Carlos Rodrigue among many others. His company 3DEUNO is now in its third year, and touring throughout Spain. Emilio recently won first prize at the III International Dance Festival in Almería.

Ferocious guardian of the gypsy heritage and vocal puppet-master to some of the greatest flamenco dancers.

“This feisty company delivers the finest in flamenco, plus sizzling soloist La Joaquina” - Time Out
"Leading the dancers, La Joaquina, tiny, urgent and intense, explored a vast emotional vocabulary, and juxtaposed vulnerability and tenderness with violence and aggression. Her feet rattle off tempestuous beats, her sinewy arms snake angrily and her taut body is totally driven by her feelings." - Emma Manning, The Stage
"Delighted the audience, who rewarded them with rapturous applause and encores." - Dance Europe
"This is a fiery ensemble production where every spark of personality is kept alight and creative diversity is given the space to breathe but remain faithful to flamenco’s roots." - King’s Lynn News
