Flamenco Breaks Borders: Siudy Garrido Marks 25 Years with Groundbreaking Premiere at Lincoln Center

Siudy Garrido, Venezuelan-born and Latin Grammy–nominated, brings BAILAORA: This Is My Voice to New York—fusing flamenco with a Latina immigrant’s journey

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Internationally acclaimed flamenco dance-theater artist Siudy Garrido marks her 25th anniversary season with the New York premiere of her celebrated work BAILAORA: This is My Voice at the Wu Tsai Theater, David Geffen Hall, Lincoln Center (10 Lincoln Center Plaza, New York, NY 10023). This milestone performance is part of an international tour, with presentations in Miami (November 8) and Madrid, Spain (November 17), the birthplace of flamenco.

A Latin Grammy^®–nominated artist, Siudy Garrido is one of the few women outside of Spain to emerge as a true innovator in flamenco—a rhythm rarely mastered beyond its borders. In the U.S., as a Latina immigrant from Venezuela, she has broken barriers, establishing herself as a global ambassador for the art form. Her body of work brings a fresh vision to flamenco, fusing tradition with contemporary innovation and the voice of her cultural heritage. Recipient of the National Dance Award in her home country and a Drama Desk Award nomination in New York City as a choreographer—honoring her fusion of flamenco with urban genres— Garrido has further cemented her reputation as a bold trailblazer and visionary artist.

At the heart of BAILAORA: This Is My Voice lies the concept of footwork as artistic expression—how Garrido’s refined technique transforms traditional zapateado (footwork) into her own artistic voice, both as creator and performer. Her intricate rhythms engage in dialogue not only with traditional flamenco instruments but also with unconventional ones such as the flute, piano and electric guitar. The production features a celebrated flamenco ballet and boldly incorporates atypical choreographic elements not commonly associated with the genre. Together with the music, this elements craft a daring new soundscape where each step resonates as part of a broader, orchestral language, “My footwork is my voice—it’s the way I create and the way I express my art to the world,” says Siudy Garrido. “With Bailaora, I want to share my story as a creator, and how my footwork becomes the leading voice of my soul—how it gives rise to the entire musical score.”
