Kiyo Asaoka fell in love with flamenco in 1998. Her career started as a company dancer first, then she started working individually with a variety of artists for her own creations. Along with her passion and dedication to the traditional style flamenco, Kiyo also has been active to work on the Japanese-influenced style flamenco. She has also been participating in the Toronto flamenco community as a flamenco dance teacher and also as the organizer of Tablao Flamenco Toronto, which produces monthly live flamenco performances. Flamenco has become her life. She continually strives with her strong commitment and passion for puro-flamenco.
