She has taught foreign students in Algeciras herself and found it very satisfying.Flamingoes perform mating dance to attract partnersīoth males and females of the species perform the danceĪ video of one such dance recently impressed tweepleįrom romantic trips to watching movies, humans engage in different courtship behaviours to impress their potential partners. She is fascinated by it, mentioning the meticulous movements and gestures of Japanese students, both dancers and guitarists, and German dancers. Her reaction to the influx of foreigners into Spain who come purely to learn Flamenco and the presence of Flamenco clubs around the world is a positive one. 'So many people have left a mark and helped me evolve my career'.Ĭecilia's passion for flamenco is very clear. Although unknown they have given her great inspiration. Cecilia also gave praise to the many people who have worked alongside her in shows or the many Tablaos in Spain. When asked about the Tablao in which she feels most at home, her answer without hesitation, was ' El Carrete' in Montemar, Torremolinos opened by José Losada Sanchez, who she says are like her familia.ĭuring her life she has worked with many important figures in the world of Flamenco, but who has inspired her? Juan Andrés Maya, Juan Ramirez, Sara Baras and Antonio Canales to only mention a few. Dancing from a very young age, she studied Spanish classical dance at the Conservatorio Superior de Danza de Malaga. One of the things I am most looking forward to are the costumes, all designed by Andalucian designers Victorio & Lucchino apart from the bullfighting scene designed by famous bullfighting tailors in Seville 'Justo Algaba', fitting since the Duquesa's favourite city is Seville.Ĭecilia's Andalucian blood originates from La Linea de la Concepción, Cadiz. So what did the Duquesa de Alba actually think of the show? The Duquesa is enthusiastic and passionate about the show and takes a personal interest in the tour and the company. One of the greatest difficulties for Cecilia was paying homage to a living person it was a challenge and honour both professionally and personally.

She spoke genuinely about her admiration of the Duquesa and the pride she feels at the Duchess' contribution to the world of flamenco. For example, she firmly supports bullfighting.

Only recently, a TV mini-series aired showing her life up to the end of her first marriage. A descendant of King James II of England, born at the Palace of Liria and now head of the Casa de Alba, there is great interest in her life. The Duquesa de Alba, a well known figure in Spain, has more titles than any other noble according to the Guinness World Records. I am very excited to see a show with such an insight into fundamental features of Spanish culture and the life of an aristocrat. It is in Estepona, that Cayetana will be performed for the first time in a plaza de toros. The seven acts, performed through flamenco, demonstrate each one of the arts integral in the life of the Duquesa de Alba, including pintura, poesia, las fiestas de Semana Santa and toros. 'Cayetana' is a tribute to the life of the Duquesa de Alba.
