Dancer Gioel Enriquez on Tour With the Prestigious Diavolo Dance Theater!

Professional dancer Gioel Enriquez will be touring this year through 18 cities in the U.S with the internationally well known dance company, Diavolo Dance Theater!

The word "DIAVOLO" stands for: Dia, Greek for "through, across, from point to point" and Volo, Latin for "I fly". The name has other connotations: "Diablerie" (French) - playfulness, mischief; the clever, astounding, or comical pranks of a child, clown or rascal.

Gioel beat out hundreds of other dancers for the chance to join and tour with the prestigious Diavolo.

When Mr. Jaques Heim (creator and choreographer of KA - one of the most impressive shows of Cirque Di Soleil and founder/Artistic Director of Diavolo Dance Theater) saw Gioel in action he said,"I saw, in Gioel, the ability to inspire others. We are all excited to work with Gioel and feel that he will be a wonderful asset to our Company".

Diavolo is performing to sell-out crowds and will be at The Broad Stage Feb. 20th & 21st in Santa Monica, CA.
