Aurora Reyes

Teaches at Flamenco Latino

Aurora is a highly esteemed artist in both the flamenco communities of Spain and New York. Her abilities as both a dancer and singer, and willingness to experiment in collaboration with Basilio Georges has produced new forms of heelwork which authentically replicate the rhythms played in Latin music by the congas, bongos and timbales. Most of the current repertoire of Flamenco Latino has been choreographed by Ms. Reyes. She has been dancing flamenco for 23 years. Aurora has toured with companies such as Jose Molina Bailes Españoles, worked at La Corral de la Pacheca tablao in Madrid and had a mentor relationship with La Tati. As a choreographer, she has been hired for three seasons by Andrea Del Conte Danza Espana to set pieces premiering at Dance Theater Workshop in Manhattan and the Thalia Theater in Sunnyside Queens. Her most recent piece "Dedicacion a las Americas" involved fusion of flamenco styles with the Argentine milongo, the Cuban guajiras and South American colombianas. Aurora offers group classes in flamenco held at the Kingsley Ballet Studio.
