Rafael Flores Ramirez, better known as Mr. Raphy Flores ‘”Erre
Effe“, was born on 18. October in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico.
At the age of 9 years he started his first artistic activities as a dancer at various
events, supported and promoted by his parents.
He improved continuously his artistic talent motivated by the enthusiastic applause
of the audience.
He loved to perform and to impress people with his dance and rhythms.
Raphy was impressed and inspired by Michael Jackson and became a very good
imitator. Soon several TV channels became aware of him and offered him various
roles as an actor.
He was acting in children's musicals such as "Peter Pan", "Rockolandia 3" and
"The Magic Turroncito". He received rave reviews from leading Artists Agencies
and theater critics.
He was an artistic prodigy of his time through various roles in TV dramas and
series, including one of the most well-known "Que Angelitos".
During High School he made a name for himself by imitating famous artists of
dance and music, for example, in the famous talent show "Juventud Vibra."
But that was not enough. Inspired by his previous successes, he set himself new
targets. He started to create his own choreography which differed from all known
choreographies in Puerto Rico.
Finally, Hector Macano
noticed him and convinced him to cooperate with the "Show Go Dancers", later
known as "S.D.P.UNIT" (Show Dancing Power Unit), consisting of 7 members, who
are successful as directors, producers, actors , dancers and choreographers today.
He worked in productions with DJ Eric, Sammy Fisher and Baron Lopez, who gave
the project a special touch by using elements of Rap. Although the project could not
achieve international fame, the band was very successful on their home ground
lovingly called “Sugar” (“El Bosque Magico de Rap”).
They performed alongside the biggest names in the industry, such as Vico C, Eddie
and Liza M. D.
"Next Level Dance Studios“
in Puerto Rico is THE AGENCY in the region for anyone who would like to establish
himself on the international market in music, dance and choreography.
The company employs and promotes artists from all kinds of the performing arts and
is very much engaged in the “NEW SCHOOL HIP HOP” and “REGGEATON”. Many
former students who have studied there are now internationally successful, for
example Manny Manuel, Olga Tañon, Grupomanía, Yuri, Giselle, Melina Leon, Luis
