LA VELADA: An Alchemy of Past and Present
Created and Choreographed by Marta Gálvez
“La Velada (This evening) is a moment that breathes between what once was and who I am now. Tradition meets a contemporary vision, and the memory of those who danced before flows through every movement. Dance appears as a place of passage: the past breathes in the present, what is inherited transforms, the body holds experience, and each gesture finds its place in the now.
Tonight celebrates the journey, the legacy, and the love for those who danced before. This evening exists because others came before it, but this one is different. It is mine and it is now.” – Marta Gálvez
Featured artists for La Velada include David Durán (flamenco guitarist), Rosa Linero (flamenco singer), Luis Dorado (flamenco percussionist). The artistic team includes Marta Gálvez (director, choreographer and flamenco dancer) and Begoña Fernandez (artistic direction and dramaturgy).
SPAIN FLAMENCO ARTS organizes performances, workshops, and cultural activities, showcasing a wide range of artists from various styles. Through these initiatives, it has toured embassies, Cervantes Institutes, cooperation offices, international universities, theaters, festivals, and other private venues around the world.
ABOUT MARTA GÁLVEZ
Born in Córdoba, Marta Gálvez began her journey in flamenco at the age of three. Her passion for dance led her to train at the Conservatorio Profesional de Danza, where she earned her degree in Spanish Dance in 2012. She also received a scholarship at the Centro Andaluz de Danza, where she deepened her knowledge and honed her technique under the guidance of renowned professionals. Throughout her training, she explored various styles and techniques that enriched her artistic expression, blending the intensity of flamenco with the elegance of Spanish dance. Her constant pursuit of learning and refinement has shaped her into a performer with a distinctive style and commanding stage presence.
Marta Gálvez has built her career by participating in competitions and earning distinctions such as the “Outstanding Dancer” award in 2015 and the Young Flamenco Artists Award from the Córdoba Provincial Council in 2023. Her talent and versatility have led her to join companies led by David Coria, María Pagés, Ursula López, José Porcel, and Juan Carlos Avecilla, performing at international festivals and theaters. In her most recent endeavors, she has focused on her own projects, including her show “Dama de Noche,” where she showcases her creative vision and artistic evolution. This production has been presented at the Festival de Jerez, Teatros del Canal in Madrid, Centro Danza Matadero as part of the inaugural “Young Creators” program, and the Flamenco Festival of Albuquerque 2026.
