Noelia Ruiz

bailaora

With only 25 years old, this talented artist not only stands out as a dancer, but also as a Flamenco Dance Pedagogue. Her trajectory in this art began early, at the age of 8, when she started her training at the Conservatorio Profesional de Danza Pepa Flores in Malaga. But even at the age of 3-4 years, she was already attending extracurricular flamenco classes at the Los Angeles School in Malaga.

Noelia has been a member of both the Company of Enrique Vicent and Antonio López of Malaga, as well as the Company of Antonio Canales. Her participation in the latter resulted in the outstanding production “Torero“, presented at the Teatros del Canal in 2017, and also in Mexico (Guadalajara) in 2019.

Her academic background is equally impressive. She has obtained her Elementary and Middle Grade (with a specialty in Flamenco Dance) at renowned institutions such as the Conservatorio Profesional de Danza Pepa Flores in Malaga, the Enrique Vicent and Antonio López Dance School, and the Centro Andaluz de Danza in Seville. In 2019, she continued her education with a Higher Degree in Flamenco Dance Pedagogy at the Conservatorio Superior de Danza María de Ávila in Madrid. In the same year, she was admitted as a dancer in the Ballet Nacional de España under the direction of Rubén Olmo, marking another significant milestone in her career.

Noelia has had the privilege of sharing her apprenticeship with a cast of renowned artists throughout her career. Among them are figures such as Rubén Olmo, Antonio Canales, Miguel Ángel Corbacho, Ana Morales, Daniel Doña, Manuel Liñán, Marcos Flores, Belén López, Jesús Carmona, Carmen La Talegona, David Coria, Isabel Bayón and Rafaela Carrasco, among others.

Her effort and dedication have earned her notable recognitions in her career, such as the Extraordinary Prize for Professional Dance Teaching in the specialty of Flamenco Dance, awarded by the Junta de Andalucía during the 2014-2015 academic year. She also received the prestigious National Education Award for Artistic Dance Teaching in 2015, consolidating her position as a promising figure in the world of flamenco and dance.
