Antonio Molina Redondo, known professionally as “El Choro,” was born in Huelva (1985) and began dancing in a family lineage of flamenco. He learned foundational compás and baile from his father. He expanded his training with teachers including Manolo Marín and Javier Cruz, later continuing at Sevilla’s Fundación Cristina Heeren de Arte Flamenco. In 1999 he won the II Certamen de Baile Flamenco Joven de Huelva, a turning point that took him to Sevilla and into a professional network of major creators.

Across the 2000s and 2010s he worked with influential companies and artists, including Israel Galván (Galvánicas), Eva Yerbabuena, Javier Barón, and Rafael Campallo, and appeared in leading flamenco contexts such as the Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla and the Festival de Jerez. Critics and presenters often emphasize his rhythmic authority—dance that operates as percussion while retaining lyrical control and architectural phrasing.

As a maker, El Choro premiered Aviso: bayles de jitanos (2016), receiving Revelation/Emerging Artist recognition at the Festival de Jerez. Subsequent stage works include Gelem (2018, directed by Manuel Liñán) and #SiDiosKiere (2022). In 2025 he received the Premio Lorca for Best Male Performer (Danza Español/Flamenco) for Prender, un acto de combustión. Alongside larger productions, he maintains recital formats like IN SITU, foregrounding improvisation, musical listening, and the immediacy of flamenco performance.
