David Pérez

David Pérez started his training at the academy of the Villaú sisters in Alcalá and then took lessons from, among others, Manolo Marin. Already in 1997, at the age of fifteen, he was allowed to represent Andalusia at the annual 'Hispanic Festival' in St-Louis (USA). In 2004 he won the prestigious 'El Desplante' prize at the 'Festival de las Minas' in La Unión. In the following two years he was able to work as an official representative for Arte Flamenco. This resulted in a series of performances in Spanish embassies all over the world. In 2006 he was part of the epic performance 'Andalucia, El Flamenco y La Humanidad' by dancer/choreographer Mario Maya. A year later he was a guest at the 'Flamenco Festival' Chicago (USA), a prestigious festival where the master himself, Paco de Lucia, was also present. David Pérez's curriculum is already indestructible. He built up an impeccable reputation as a technically refined, stylish flamenco dancer. Solid, competent and with feet firmly on the ground… or plank floor.
