Javiolo (hah-vee-OH-loh) — Studio Director, dancer, choreographer, and video & audio producer.

His story starts in Spain in 1988, when his grandmother took him, at three years old, to his first flamenco class at the local church, and stood by him in a time and place where a boy who danced had it hard. She was his first believer.

In 2009 he saved for years — helped his parents first — then trained in Los Angeles at Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio with the choreographers behind Missy Elliott, Beyoncé and Chris Brown, learned the original Thriller choreography from one of Michael Jackson's own choreographers, and discovered hip hop in heels. Back in Spain, that training took him to the stage with Ke$ha at Premios 40 Principales in Madrid.

Today, at MoveS & GrooveS in Jacksonville, he passes that legacy on to every student, and keeps dance accessible to all abilities through a partnership of nearly four years with The Arc of the St. Johns.
