TEDx talks en Español - Pasíon por Flamenco | Yumi LaRosa | TEDxASUWest

Experience the captivating Spanish tradition of Flamenco with the Yumi La Rosa Flamenco Ensemble (Toque: Monte Perrault; Cante: Javier Hernandez; Baile: Yumi La Rosa). Yumi la Rosa’s flamenco path started when she decided to follow her passion instead of staying in her established accounting career. She left for Spain to study with well-known Flamenco artists such as Rafaela Carrasco, Juana Amaya, Belen Maya, Leonor Leal, Isabel Bayón, and “La Truco.” Upon returning to Phoenix, Yumi joined Viva Flamenco directed by Lydia Torea as a company dancer, and later became a soloist with Mosaico Flamenco at Hyatt Gainey Ranch Scottsdale Resort. She was later invited to Mexico, India and Singapore to teach Flamenco workshops and to perform. Currently, she is performing at Tapas Papa Frita Spanish restaurant as a featured dancer. Yumi has been teaching flamenco for all ages throughout the valley. In 2009, she founded her own group, Yumi La Rosa Flamenco Dance and presented her very first dance production at Tempe Center for the Arts, to give the public an appreciation of other cultures in general and of the richness of Spanish culture in particular. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
