Throughout his career, he has been part of companies such as those of Sara Baras, Eva Yerbabuena, Paco Peña, Rafaela Carrasco, and Rubén Olmo, participating in major international productions. As a soloist, he has performed in tablaos in Seville, Córdoba, and Almería, and in 2012 he premiered his own show in tribute to Ana Carrillo «La Tomata».
His teaching role has led him to give masterclasses in Europe, America, and Asia. Among his recognitions are the First Prize for dance by Alegrías «La Perla de Cádiz» (2001), an award at the Young Flamencos Contest of Córdoba (2004), and another at the Calahorra Competition (2009).
Today's masterclass enhances the cultural offering of Mairena del Alcor and allows attendees to learn from a professional with an international career. The festival continues its programming with new activities in the coming days.
