ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Bianca Rodriguez began dancing Spanish classical/ballet at the age of three. Her first teachers were Mina Gutierrez, Cristina Greco, and Jose Greco II. She graduated with a degree in dance from the University of New Mexico with an emphasis in flamenco. Upon studying at UNM, she was fortunate to perform with Juan Siddi, Keka Villar, Silverio Heredia, Yjastros, Antonio Granjero, Roberto Lorente, and Chuscales. Rodriguez was featured as a soloist in the National Hispanic Cultural Center’s production of El Pintor. During her time studying in Sevilla, Bianca’s idol Juana Amaya told her during class that she has “peso,” a characteristic of flamenco movement which is innate and found in many great dancers. Rodriguez toured with Flamenco Vivo in their North Carolina residency, where she discovered her passion for teaching children. She has choreographed for St. John’s Catholic School in San Francisco through World Dance Fusion. Under the direction of Carola Zertuche’s Theatre Flamenco, she worked with artists Juana la del Pipa, Adela Campallo, Carmen Ledezma, and Pastora Galvan. Her most esteemed moment has been dancing in Antonio Rey’s Dos Partes de Mi, produced by Eddie and Catherine Diaz of SJFS. Rodriguez has performed all over California, LA’s Fountain Theatre, SF’s Brava Theatre, Herbst Theatre, and tablaos in Spain. She currently teaches in Berkeley, CA, and performs regularly with local and visiting artists.
