Antonio and Rosario were first cousins, and both studied
dancing under Realito. They were so successful as children
that they soon were performing at recitals. Their Spanish
dancing created a sensation at the Liege Exposition
in Belgium in 1928, this was their first public performance,
they dissolved the teaming in December of 1952, reportedly
due to a dispute or misunderstanding.
They had performed internationally
and were dubbed 'Los Chavalillos Sevillanos'
by Latin America and "the Kids from Seville" by
Americans. They made their first U.S. appearance in October,
1940. Columbia Concerts managed them and their small troupe
in international concerts and plays. They have performed
in many movies over the years together and apart. Antonio
has movie credits as Antonio Lopez.
