Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on February 22, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Joaquin Cortes! May your birthday be filled with enough passion and rhythm to rival your legendary flamenco performances. You've spun more elegance and fire onto the stage than most people manage in a lifetime—proving once again that no one can match the lightning-fast footwork or charisma you famously displayed at Royal Albert Hall.

From touring sold-out venues worldwide, choreographing masterpieces that blend tradition with innovation, you've danced straight into our hearts (and occasionally made our jaws drop). Here's hoping this year's celebrations are packed full of applause-worthy moments—even if it’s just blowing out candles with unmatched dramatic flair. Ole!
