Spanish Dancer; Ballet / Flamenco Not currently listed here Heterosexual Joaquín Pedraja Reyes , known professionally as Joaquin Cortés, is a Spanish classically trained ballet and flamenco dancer. In 1984, he was accepted as a member of Spanish prestigious national ballet company. He traveled the world with the Spanish National Ballet, performing in important venues such as the Metropolitan Opera House (Lincoln Center) of New York and the Kremlin Palace in Moscow. During his stint with the Spanish National Ballet, he also became a principal solo performer known for his phenomenal stamina and athleticism. Desiring more creative control, Cortés formed the Joaquín Cortés Flamenco Ballet company and launched his first international tour 'Cibayí' in 1992. The formation of Cortés' own company allowed him to diverge from purist ballet and create his own fusion of flamenco, ballet and modern dance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joaqu%C3%ADn_Cort%C3%A9s (2019) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHeharper 8/22/2013 RAHAKirkbride 10/27/2022 03497ae6-3542-4c00-850d-9f536f8ed9fc
