I’ve always loved to dance…I’ve always had to dance. The energy it gives me is what drives me, and it’s what inspires the dancers around me. I trained professionally of course, but more importantly I taught myself everything I could about dancing – the different rhythms, the forms, the histories, the traditions. I started creating choreographies from a very early age, like another child might paint a picture or write a poem. It was my way to express my love of dance, and to grow creatively within the medium. At a young age I also began to teach, and realized that as a teacher I gained an even deeper understanding of the dance, in turn becoming a better dancer myself.” From an early age, dance has been Erique's hobby, discipline, passion and ultimately his profession. His training too different forms, Ballet, Jazz Peruvian and International Folklore, Latin Rhythms, and Ballroom to mention a few. In his teens he started dancing professionally and teaching in Peru. Soon he was choreographing his own pieces, and it became clear to him that needed to reach beyond the borders of his own country, so he moved to The States. Since moving to The States, he has worked as an instructor and choreographer for many dance studios and sports clubs in the Fairfield County area. He has also performed in a number of shows in the local area, and in New York City, most recently performing a contemporary piece in Bryant Park with his dance and business partner Amanda. He has also produced and performed in his own shows, at venues such as The Fairfield Theatre Company and The Westport Country Playhouse. Working with kids, teens and adults in both Peru and here in the U.S. has shown him that everybody is able to learn and enjoy the art of dane. That's why he, together with his friend Amanda, founded The Dance Collective in Wesport, a special place that people with or without dance training can come to find their inner dancer. Choreographing with passion and energy is how Enrique likes to work, his classes are exhilarating and fun, but you have to experience it to really understand and appreciate it.
