gran belleza formal.” (“Tania was the
best to perform on the stage, bringing
together in the siguiriya moments of
great and serious beauty.”)

una joven
bailaora de hermosa estampa, que en las siguiriyas y las cantiñas demostró
hallarse preparada para hacer baile de contenido
hondo." ("Tania, a young
dancer of beautiful
appearance, demonstrated in the siguiriyas
and cantiñas
that she is
prepared to perform dance of deep content."
Angel Alvarez
Caballero, Madrid, Spain, EL PAIS "La
Tania's combination of restraint and release are capable of unleashing
the
extraordinary...clean, furious, incessant...La Tania made grace and
beauty the
defining features..."

debased
flamenco stage shows."

sensuality that leaves the

Llana Wherry, San Francisco, California, EL
MUNDO "...extraordinary meticulous etching of detail..."
Allan

radiant performer alternately

del singular baile flamenco, tomo
vida y duende en las contorsiones del esbelto y joven cuerpo de la
bailaora…” (“The splendor
of this unique flamenco dance, came
to life full of duende in the contours
of the slender and young body of the dancer…”)
Maria
D. Conn, San Jose, California,
LA OFERTA REVIEW 3-12-94 “La Tania, the
dancer who creates a heat wave all
by herself…”
Llana
Wherry, San Francisco,
California, EL MUNDO 5-23-96 “ Nicknames of
flamenco artists tend to be
absolutists: La Chunga, Farruco, El Guito and the like. The implication
is of
singularity so singular that a flamenco performer can be identified,
anywhere
in the world, just by his or her tag. Solo dancer La Tania…is one that
deserves
this quasi-royal designation. Her dance style is not only virtuosic but
also
highly personal,…” San Francisco Examiner
