Antonio Canales

bailaor
Great figure of flamenco ballet.

Antonio Canales was born in Seville in 1961.

Coming from a family of artists, he began his career as a dancer in the Ballet Nacional. He later moved to Paris and joined Maguy Marin’s ballet. He was invited to participate in the choreography of Versalia, in Italy.

By this time, Antonio was already an internationally recognised dancer and participated in more than fifty international works as a principal dancer, until he formed his own company, making his debut in Bilbao with the choreographies ‘A ti Carmen Amaya’ and ‘Siempre Flamenco’.

His countless awards include the National Dance Prize in 1995, his nomination for the Emmy Awards, and the presentation by the King of Spain in 2022 of the Gold Medal of Fine Arts. Among his most notable works are: ‘Torero’, ‘Gitano’, ‘Cenicienta’, ‘Ojos Verdes’, ‘Sangre de Albero’, ‘Carmen Carmela’, ‘Sangre de Edipo’ and many more.

In 2022, he becomes godfather of the Tablao Flamenco 1911. The Cathedral of Flamenco, as he likes to call it, has the privilege of uniting both very long and mythical trajectories at the same point.

Master of masters and a point of reference for promising young artists.

Antonio comes from a family of artists who passed on their love for this art. Maestro Antonio Canales is admired for his explosive talent and successful career in various parts of the world. He is one of the most renowned dancers in Spain. His art encompasses the greatness of flamenco dance accompanied by a unique style.
