Eloy J Rojas
I am a professional dancer, choreographer and dance teacher from Venezuela, a country where dancing is an important part of the culture and Latin American lifestyle.
In 2008-2012 I officially completed my professional training as a professional dancer, choreographer and dance teacher for Ballroom, Latin rhythms, Afro-Latino rhythms and Caribbean rhythms in Caracas (Venezuela).
After having 2 years of training and work in different dance schools in Venezuela, I relocated to Mexico City in 2014, where I continued my training and simultaneously founded "Be Dancer" dance school.
Ready to further my dancing profession, I moved to Berlin in 2016. As a result of my own research, I developed my own dance technique. I quickly gained recognition in the Berlin dance scene for defying gender stereotypes in dance by using my body movements. I also developed a unique spins technique and an Afro-Cuban bodymovement technique based on the origins of Latin American rhythms. This gave me the opportunity to make and direct choreography at the renowned Berlin Volksbühne.
I founded EJR Studio, my dance school, and Ibere dance company in 2019.
In 2022, I created a project titled "from the roots: IT IS ABOUT LATIN RHYTHMS" that was awarded funding by the Federal Government's Commissioner for Culture and Media. In this project, I devised the first structure in Europe for an Ausbildung in Latin American rhythms for Dancers, Teachers, and Choreographers. As well as two researches titled "Basic Body Posture and movement of Latin American Rhythms"
and "Spins and Turns Technique of Latin American Rhythms".
Currently, I continue to teach courses at my Berlin dance school, perform my self-choreographed performances throughout Europe, give seminars based on a methodology I devised, and thus represent Berlin and Germany internationally.
