Coming
from long roots of Spanish heritage, Timo began dancing at the early age of
seven and quickly began to excel as a young professional performer with Juan
Talavera’s Flamenco Company around the same time he began his studies in Spain.
It was at the age of twelve that Debbie Allen discovered Timo and invited him to
perform at the Kennedy Center. Directly out of High School in Santa Barbara, California, Timo was chosen by Julie
McDonald, Kenny Ortega and Toni Basil to win the prestigious LA Music Center’s
“Spotlight Award” for non-classical dance. Soon after, Timo was signed to
McDonald-Selznick Associates. Since then he has studied, performed and taught all
over the world from Santa Barbara to Seville in constant search for artistic
and cultural knowledge pertaining to Flamenco dance and evolution. He was
chosen by Israel and Pastora Galvan, Rafael and Adela Campallo, El Torombo, and
other greats to win “El Concurso de Baile de Albuquerque.”
Over
the years, Timo has had the honor of working closely with some of the world’s
most renowned directors and choreographers such as Amy Tinkum, Raj Kapoor, Otis Sallid, Debbie
Allen and Kenny Ortega. He has performed all over the world from the Kodak
Theater in Los Angeles to the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.
