This morning at Gala Theatre, warming up to perform for students. Always wonderful to be at Gala - such a haven for flamenco, bringing schools to the theater to experience flamenco, and nourishing our own growth as performers. I have so many great memories dancing with Flamenco Aparicio Company here - they’ll be performing this weekend! Flamenco Men on Nov 4 - 6. Can’t wait!

Down in the Reeds is a day-long Fall celebration and Music Festival. The 2022 Festival is happening on Saturday October 8th from 11am - 7pm at The Parks at Walter Reed in Washington, DC.

SonDeBaril arose out of the elements that drew me and Singer/Percussionist Yiyi Orozco together: the rhythms, sound, and movement of the age-old yet constantly evolving art form of flamenco.

During this pivotal time, we found ourselves exploring new realities that inspired fresh ideas. We’re so excited to bring our vision to life and share it with you!

Yiyi and I created “Evolución” with support from the Maryland State Arts Council in collaboration with guitarist Ricardo Marlow, dancers Edwin Aparicio and Anna Menendez, who will also be performing with us.

When you’re alone in the studio and you ask,

“… upward or downward movement?”

Good ol’ trusty video will tell you ☺️

Celebrating music at the Sylvan Theater. Such a memorable day! Thanks to our friends at the French Embassy for putting together an amazing summer solstice experience - the Washington Monument right there in front of us, a great crowd and the sun setting… A magical day!

Sharing some video clips!

…aaaand we’re back in the theater! It was good to get my pulse racing after the hiatus 😅

April 2021 in the studio… dancing for a fundraiser in collaboration with other artists in DC organized by the Washington Performing Arts. We were asked to record our parts --like everything in those days!
