"When Raul Riojas moonwalks, spins, and fires his gloved hand in the air, few can tell the difference between him and the real Michael Jackson." Matt Dykstra, Edmonton Sun There isn't a section for this so I am adding this as additional information. This is my resume, I am constantly trying to keep myself busy and I absolutely love dancing, performing and teaching. I don't claim to be the best, but the production that I have put together is the best of me. I don't always get paid well in this business, if I could I would dance, perform, train, and teach for free, this is my passion. I hope to build a working relationship with you soon or perform at your celebration soon. I am also willing to barter. Thank you RESUME: Objective To bring passion and dedication to each of my students, to inspire them to express themselves through the art of dance.
