In addition, he has served as a guest choreographer for the DIOR brand, a guest artist at the Cumbre Flamenca Festival in Los Angeles under the direction of Beth Nesbitt, and choreography director for the artist Alexis.
In September 2022, Daniel Ramos premiered his first solo show, co-produced by Teatros del Canal: conTRAcuerpo, which has been performed at the Almería Dance and Flamenco Festival, the Madrid Dance Festival of the Community of Madrid, the Cadences Festival in Arcachon, and the highly acclaimed Jerez Festival in 2023.
