Blanca del Rey

Image Blanca del Rey was born in Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain. Having six years old and a clear vocation in flamenco dancing, commences winning various prizes and starts with glamorous success at the Gran Teatro De Cordoba.
Her dance is based on flamenco guitar and singing, with a huge capability to transform music into movement.

Soon she enters into the Madrid stages, achieving great successes at CORRAL DE LA MORERIA, the leading Spanish tablao where all top flamenco artists forged their careers. Her marriage with Manuel del Rey and the incipient maternity forced her to a temporal retirement. At this time, she started researching about flamenco roots and evolution. A profound transformation was made which revolutionises her conception on flamenco dance.

As soon as her children grow up, she commences punctual performances at CORRAL DE LA MORERIA, as well as a tour in principal Japanese theatres. Her participation at the Spanish TV programme "La Danza" is the starting point of her return to scenarios.
Together with CIRO, a well-known Spanish choreographer, appear her most outstanding performances, "las alegrνas", "la caρa" and her personal "guajira". But, what really emerges as a never-seen-before masterpiece is the unique "Soleα del Manton".

During two years, she takes part in a national radio programme (Radio Exterior de Espaρa) as the main flamenco researcher, as well as participates in various documentaries about her life and work, recording her choreographies in TV programmes worldwide.

She founded the BALLET FLAMENCO BLANCA DEL REY, a company devoted to developing performances based on a continuous choreography creation and evolution about diverse theatrically-oriented flamenco rhythms. At this moment in time, she obtains numerous grants and excellent critics, hence, becoming one of the best Spanish flamenco representatives throughout the world.
