His first appearance as a dancer was at New York's Hippodrome in "Carmen."
In 1946 he was invited to produce a Spanish dance sequence for a movie and he organized a small troupe of dancers. In Paris the film ran for six months and the dance sequence stopped the show at almost every performance.
The success of the film led Greco to form his own company, which toured Europe and was widely acclaimed. In the United States he was the first artist to be booked at the Empire Room of the Waldorf Astoria hotel for two engagements within a six month period.
