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