MARÍA MORENO 

María Moreno’s highly stylized performances unfold with a passionate cadence like a captivating story. Featuring everything from the subtlest nuances to the most exacting movements, she makes the dance look as natural as breathing.  

It is not surprising that flamenco came naturally to Moreno from the start. Her career began when she was just 8 years old when she enrolled in the Professional Dance Conservatory of Cádiz. Moreno would then go on to train with Javier Latorre, Rafaela Carrasco, Antonio Canales, and Eva Yerbabuena. 

In 2004, she joined Eva Yerbabuena’s company, taking part in some of Eva’s most emblematic productions. Bolstered by performing in this prestigious flamenco company, María Moreno launched her solo career in 2006.  

She has since collaborated with some of flamenco’s greatest artists, from Miguel Poveda to José Mercé to Marina Heredia and Arcángel.  

In 2017, Moreno received the ‘Best New Artist Award’ at the Festival de Jerez. In 2018, she debuted her show De la Concepción at Seville’s Teatro Central as part of the city’s Flamenco Biennial. Featuring Eva Yerbabuena as stage director and Andrés Marín as musical director, Moreno was recognized with the Best New Artist Giraldillo award for this production.   

In 2020 she premiered her latest work, MORE (NO) MORE, at the Seville Flamenco Biennial, featuring the direction of Rafael R. Villalobos and costume design by Palomo Spain. It was awarded The Magic Moment Giraldillo Award.  

It is with great excitement that we welcome María Moreno to the FAF virtual stage with her most recent work, soleá.
