Trained in all forms of ballroom dance, Mr. Flores is a studied artist and dynamic speaker -- one who can share the history of ballroom dance and the importance of the art form in our culture with as much clarity and passion as he does his love of dance. His mission is to spread the joy of ballroom dance -- by talking, teaching, and producing shows for all audiences -- and to extend ballrooms reach to those who enjoy taking to the floor themselves, and those who enjoy the simple pleasure of watching a magical performance.

Active in the highly-disciplined world of ballroom competition until 1992, Mr. Flores earned Theatre Arts Grand Ball Champion. Now based in Walnut Creek, Mr. Flores teaches privately and through SOLAD Dance Center, Diablo Light Opera Company, and other local venues; and produces shows dba Adrian Flores Presents.
