Edith Niño  -  Baile

Edith Niño is a young and articulate flamenco dancer.  Her natural talent is complimented with technique, poise and confidence beyond her years.  As guest dancer with Solero Flamenco she performs at varied venues in Houston.  Her interpretation of the Flamenco Guajira with the accompaniment of Irma La Paloma, cante, and Jeremías García, guitar has captivated and rendered the applause of audiences making this one of her signature dances.

 

Edith was born in Caracas, Venezuela and was inclined to the arts at an early age.  She began her training at Voces Blancas de Elisa Soteldo, Academia de Ballet Fanny Montiel and at the Conservatorio de Música under the direction of María Dolores García.  While studying ballet at the English Montessori School in Madrid, where she resided from 1988-1990, she was exposed to flamenco arts and culture.  After returning to Caracas she graduated from the Conservatorio de Música and joined La Coral de U. E. Universidad Simón Bolivar.  She continued Classical Ballet with Fanny Montiel until 2000. 

 

Following her move to Houston, she studied flamenco at the University of Houston with Antonia Perlacia and performed in Antonia’s companies Aires Flamenco and Soleá Dance.

 

Although she performs professionally, Edith seeks every opportunity to refine and continue her training through Master Workshops and private lessons with flamenco figures and instructors such as Maestro Timo Lozano, Solangel Lali Calix, Concha Jareño, Fanny Ara and Maria Juncal.
