Luis Rivera
Luis Rivera recognized his passion for the arts when he was a child in Honduras. He decided to follow his artistic dream, during his teenage years, and joined one of Honduras’ most prestigious professional folkloric ballet companies. Twelve years later, he founded his own production and dance company. This allowed him the freedom to innovate and apply all the experience and inspiration he had captured from many tours during his early dance career. He explored different cultures around the world and combined fashion and styling for his many shows. He received extensive training in his native Honduras and then traveled to the United States to further his exposure and to study hair and makeup from industry leaders, to include the MUD make-up designatory. His journey led him to New York City in 2010, where doors opened to the world of hair and makeup for the ballroom dance community, famous hosts, celebrities, and National, International and World Champions.
Luis’ many professional accolades include: Director of the Brooklyn College Foundation Dance Club, performer for Univision and other media events, professional dance instructor, choreographer, and coach.
