MARIA JUNCAL
Maria Juncal, winner of the Antonio Gades National Award of Flamenco Dance and voted the best flamenco dancer at the Festival Del Cante De Las Minas, will bring her company to Santa Barbara to present her latest production, Tercera Llamada – Moment of Enchantment, and will also participate in a series of workshops for children and adults.
Juncal, born in the Canary Islands, moved to Spain to study with many of the preeminent flamenco masters such as El Gűito, Ciro, Cristobal Reyes, Paco Peña, Merche Esmeralda and La Tati. She soon became a member of some of the leading Spanish flamenco companies, performing throughout Europe, Asia and America. Early in her career she worked with the National Ballet of Cuba, and became a member of the company of El Gűito. She performed in the production, Campanas Flamencos, with Milagros Menjibar and La Tati. In Germany she presented her first show, La Gitana Blanca, and in the U.S. she made her debut as a soloist for the Jose Greco Company and also appeared as a soloist for a Joaquín Cortés production with performances in London, Madrid, Barcelona and Japan. She also performed as a soloist with the National Theatre of New York, with venues in Boston, Chicago, Kansas, New York and Minnesota.
Despite all her accomplishments, Juncal claims she is still a pupil. She continues a daily, vigorous regimen of study, practice and is always ready to receive lessons from her master teachers and from life.
