A FACE out of New Zealand dance history - Julio had returned after a sabbatical and is ready to bring us some fun and spice in the Cubaton Workshop on Sunday and a fun funky beginners Rueda with 'Los Caballeros' (Eugenio; Adi; y Julio) on Saturday.
We chatted to him about his Latin dance career and what drives him to dance.
