Emma 'La Rizada' completed the SDS (Spanish Dance Society) syllabus in 2000. Determined to pursue the 'real' flamenco she went to live and study in Jerez de la Frontera at the Centro de Baile and trained with Mercedes Ruiz. Not only did she discover this art form, but experienced it in context, as a way of life.
