Joaquín Cortes has been medically discharged after fainting while playing with his children. "It was something unexpected, something surreal, I thought I had the flu and I almost died," he said.

The dancer has been asthmatic since childhood and that dancing has served as an "antidote" for this ailment. In mid-July he begins a new tour in New York, with which he will walk his show "Esencia" through several countries around the world.
