Discover Guadalupe Torres and her passion for flamenco

Origins of Guadalupe Torres

Born in Madrid in 1983, Guadalupe Torres is an up-and-coming flamenco talent. Her versatility and freshness, together with the passion and strength of her dancing, represents the dialogue between traditional flamenco and the more avant-garde modern flamenco. She has learned flamenco from a very early age and is qualified in Spanish Dance and Flamenco from the Royal Professional Dance Conservatory in Madrid, specialising in flamenco having studied with important flamenco maestros. 

In 2002 she moved to Seville where she began her professional flamenco dancing career with the Andaluz Dance Company, directed by Jose Antonio. Guadalupe performed in important theatres and festivals, travelling all over the world with this flamenco dance company. Afterwards, she joined other important dance companies, such as those of María Pagés, Marco Flores and Manuel Liñan and performed with great maestros such as Antonio Gades or Carlos Saura. 

Guadalupe Torres’ Professional Career

Guadalupe Torres has been privileged to be invited to perform with some of the most important artists in flamenco shows all over the world, such as Marco Flores, Manuel Liñan, Miguel Poveda, Montse Cortés, María Pagés and El Güito, amongst others. A wide range of artists from different generations have relied on her performance for its versatility, freshness and strength. As a soloist she has taken part in many flamenco festivals, such as La Silla de Oro or Corral del Carbón.

In 2007 she received the Best Choreography Prize for her flamenco show, “A Miedos, Colores,” or “Colour in the Face of Fear,” in the Madrid Festival of Spanish Dance and Flamenco Choreography in Madrid. Later, in 2010, she was awarded the Best Solo Choreography Award for her first solo flamenco show, “De los Rincones”, “In the Corners”. In the same year she was a runner-up in the Cante de las Minas de la Unión Contest. 

She combines her professional flamenco dancing career with teaching and directing, giving classes and workshops in Spain and in other countries such as Japan, Brasil, Argentina, Italy; Mexico, Finland and China amongst others. She also collaborates as teacher and choreographer in the Superior Dance Conservatory in Madrid. 

Guadalupe Torres: Flamenco shows

Her latest performances include the flamenco shows “Flamencas en la sombra” by Montse Cortés and “De Flamencas” by the Marco Flores Company (awarded the best flamenco show in 2012) and “Roble”, her most recent solo flamenco show.

As a soloist, she performed her second show, “Acúerdate cuando entonces…” translated as “Remember when…” which served as a showcase in important international festivals such as the Luxembourg Festival, Helsinki Flamenco Festival or the Dutch Flamenco Biennial in 2015 and more recently in the Jerez Flamenco Festival. “Roble”, in English, “Oak” debuted in 2014 in the Paris Quijote Festival and has since been performed in Paris, Mexico, Moscow and Millan. 

“Los Colores de Magdalena”, Magdalena’s Colours in English, based on the diary of the Mexican artist, Magdalena Carmen, was first performed in the Festival 25 at Jerez, with this show Guadalupe Torres wanted to transmit the feelings that colours provoke in our everyday lives. Her latest show, “Bailar en Hembra”,is based on the feelings she experienced through the process of maternity.

During her career, Guadalupe has performed in some of the most important tablaos flamencos such as the Teatro Flamenco Sevilla or Teatro Flamenco Madrid.
