Based in Manhattan, Rebeca is one of New York City’s up and coming Flamenco artists, freelancing as a solo dancer and company performer, and producing her own original works. She has been deemed as “a fierce performer” (Explore Dance) and “a postcard image of the feminine Flamenco dancer” (Kansas City Metropolis). Since summer 2008, she has been touring with the internationally renowned company Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca. She also performs regularly with Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana, Jorge Navarro’s Pasión Flamenca, and Oscar Valero Flamenco Company.
Rebeca began her formal dance training in Granada, Spain at Maite Galán’s Escuela de Danza Española. She later moved to Madrid, where she studied at the internationally renowned Flamenco Academy Amor de Dios under such figures as Maria Magdalena, La China, Manuel Liñán, and Rafaela Carrasco. There she appeared at various tablaos, including Al Andalus and Las Carboneras. She has also studied in Sevilla with Juana Amaya, Pastora Galván, and Yolanda Heredia. In May 2008, she received a grant from the Jerome Foundation to return to Spain and deepen her studies in Bata de Cola, and in June 2008 she received a scholarship to participate in a summer intensive program at Jacob’s Pillow.
