Bettina Castaño’s flamenco journey is a mesmerizing blend of diverse cultural rhythms, infused with Indian, Persian, Turkish, South American, and Moorish influences. Her performances radiate this intricate tapestry, with each movement capturing the essence of flamenco’s deeply cross-cultural spirit. From her studio in Seville, Castaño has shaped over thirty original works, authored comprehensive flamenco guides, and created insightful study videos that reflect her sustained dedication to the form.
A magnetic presence on global stages, she has performed at revered venues such as the Lucerne Festival, the Guggenheim Bilbao, and India’s Kamani Auditorium, where she was invited by the Sangeet Natak Akademi for its prestigious international dance festival. In India, her collaborations include luminaries such as Padma Shri Mattanoor Sankarankutty, Shivamani, and Aditi Bhagwat, creating electrifying cultural dialogues on stage.
Bettina’s work is not simply flamenco; it is a dynamic, boundary-defying celebration that continues to redefine the art form across continents, honouring tradition while fearlessly expanding its expressive horizons.
