The Company
 Kristina de Sacramento came
to flamenco by way of Paris, France; not your usual path, but it’s worked out well. Kristina has been studying, performing, and teaching flamenco
since 1987. She established her own school in 1995 and merged it with her new performing company, Anda Flamenco, in 2001. She performs regularly as
a soloist with Rincón del Flamenco and at various venues in the Twin Cities. As passionate a student as she is a teacher and performer, Kristina
returns to Paris and Spain annually to continue her professional studies. She produced the 2002 Fringe Festival comedy hit “Que Será,
Será: A Flamenco Comedy,” and follows it this year with “Doña Quixote: A Flamenco Comedy.”
 María
Elena “La Cordobesa” hails from Cordoba, Spain, where she made her flamenco debut at the age of six—hiding under her mother’s
dining room table out of shyness! Hard to believe today. María Elena’s powerful, evocative, and plaintive cante (song) is the bedrock
of traditional flamenco. She is the founder of Rincón del Flamenco, a premiere flamenco troupe in the Twin Cities. One of a handful of native
flamenco singers in the U.S., María shares her gift internationally, as well as with the Twin Cities and Anda Flamenco.
 Trevor “El Rebujito”
received his early guitar training at the acclaimed Fundación Cristina Heeren in Sevilla, Spain and counts the late Manuel Soler among his
teachers. He has been performing with Anda Flamenco since 2001 and provides inspirational accompaniment to Anda Flamenco classes.
 Virginia
“La Chispita” has studied dance her whole life and continues to study annually in Spain with such masters as Merche Esmeralda and
Juana Amaya. She has been dancing with Anda Flamenco since its inception in 2001, and performed a solo role in 2002’s “Que Será,
Será.” You can see her again this year as the plucky Sancha Panzasson in “Doña Quixote: A Flamenco Comedy.”
 Rico has trained extensively at Amor
de Dios in Madrid, with private coaching by Antonio Reyes. Rico has been performing since 2001 with Anda Flamenco, including a featured role in “Que
Será, Será.”
 Andrea is the most recent addition
to Anda Flamenco, having joined the company in 2003. She began and continues her studies with Kristina de Sacramento, traveling to Spain as often
as possible. You may remember her in her 2002 role in “Que Será, Será.”
