About this Event
From the Dominican Republic, Franklin Diaz at the early age of 4, Franklin fell in love with movement and sound and he taught himself to dance. He is the product of a musical family composed of instrumentalists and vocalists, nurtured by music of his culture. His passion for dance and complex musical structures was further broadened and challenged with his exposure to Flamenco.
Franklin is well versed in various dance forms including Salsa, Afrocuban, Ballet, Modern and Flamenco. He creates a "pelau", a salad, a salsa of unique flavours. He moves to music, transforming his body into an extraordinary instrument. Franklin has been defined as a force of nature, “un mito”.
He has trained under the watchful eyes of Jose Molina, Nelida Tirado, Jose Maya and Alfonso Losa (Flamenco), modern and Ballet at Alvin Ailey dance school and Victor Pacheco and Eddie Torres (Salsa).
He has traveled the world, sharing the stage with renowned artists such as Celia Cruz, Tito Puentes and Fania All Stars.
He signature performance style is sought after by promoters from all over the world and now we have the honor to have him at Bliss!
