With Flamenco dance as her base for narrative, Estefanía makes personal stories come alive on stage while preserving history and Spanish culture. Transmitting emotion with each hand movement, facial expression and dynamic foot stamp, Estefanía guides audiences through an intimate celebration of the human experience.
Estefanía is a two-time recipient of the Traditional Arts Apprenticeship grant by Idaho Commission on the Arts (2016, 2019). She collaborated with guitarist Mark Ferguson and percussion vocalist Luis de La Tota in creating a video ‘The Language of Flamenco’ that teachers the language that passes between dancer and guitarist. She currently teaches and performs in the Boise area with her group Shimi Tree.
Take a moment to like, follow, share, and support these vibrant groups forming the Global Lounge Artists Coalition. Let’s celebrate diversity and stay connected to the beauty of tradition.
