BIOGRAPHY

Aitana de los Reyes presents herself as a pure gypsy dancer. She is a descendant of the Viejo Agujeras, from the Amaya family (Negros de Ronda). She grew up in El Puerto de Santa Maria (Cadiz) surrounded by flamenco. Her cantaora mother and guitarist father taught her from the cradle the importance of compas. She had not yet learned to walk when she was already entertaining weddings and other types of gypsy celebrations that she attended with her family.

The enthusiasm and talent that Aitana felt intrinsically for flamenco was so strong that it was at the age of four when she first took the stage. She was one of the protagonists of the cast of dancers in the program “Mi primer Ole” of Canal Sur.

The beginnings of this dancer go back to the different gypsy celebrations she attended with her family, going on to collaborate in different Associations or Peñas de Cádiz. In 2008, she was already performing regularly in a tablao called “La Posada del Puerto”. The following year, he performed as a Young Promise of Dance in Cadiz for the “IX JORNADAS DEL AYER, HOY HOY Y EL MAÑANA” (IX JORNADAS DEL AYER, HOY Y EL MAÑANA).

In 2010, she participates in the show “Jóvenes Talentos” in the 7th International Festival of the “Teatro Alhambra” in Geneva (Switzerland). From the age of 13 to 21 years, with this same show, he takes his art to many countries such as Japan, France, Portugal, Germany, Colombia and Palestine.
