Eduardo Guerrero Gónzalez (1983) began dancing when he was just six years old at Carmen Guerrero’s School in Cádiz, where he forged the base of his dancing career that he then further developed with professional dancers such as Mario Maya, Antonio Canales, Manolo Marín or Chiqui de Jerez among others. He studied Spanish Dance in Cádiz at the conservatory of music, and afterwards he extended his contemporary and classic dance knowledge with David Greenall and Montserrat Marín respectively. Eduardo travels the world, performing as a solo dancer at the most recognized Festivals and prestigious theaters such as The Star Festival of the Guggenheim Museum in New York, in concerts of Pasión Vega and in India Martínez, and collaborates with Los Stomp in Manchester, in the presence of HRH the Princess of England. In 2017, his show Guerrero wins the Audience Award of the Festival de Jerez, Eduardo's performance supposes a tremendous success at the Teatro Villamarta. The unanimous critique praises the dexterity, originality, strength and technique and the peculiar style of the bailaor. They emphasize his perfect turns and above all he never loses the elegance, the style that is his hallmark. Dance Magazine just named lead dancer Compania Flamenca one of the “Top 25 Dancers to Watch.”
