Pasiόn Flamenca Los Angeles
Raquel Leal Davies, Elizabeth Ipina, and Kelly Kelliente Richardson have combined their talents, friendship, and passion for dance to create a unique Flamenco Contemporary & Fusion group.
Elizabeth Ipina is a former U.S. National Rhythmic Gymnastics Team member; Kelly Kelliente is a former salsa champion; and Raquel Leal Davies has been trained in Brazil and the US and has been featured in several music videos and entertainment productions, including one with Nick Jonas for the Golden Globe–nominated song Home, theme of the Oscar-nominated film Ferdinand.
Based in Los Angeles with backgrounds in Modern Dance, Ballet, Jazz, Salsa, Bachata, and Flamenco, they create inspiring choreographies that highlight their individual styles and dynamic chemistry. Their name, Pasiόn Flamenca, reflects their deep connection to the soul of the art form.
The trio met while training together in modern Flamenco with Maestra Celina Zambon, building on their prior experience in traditional Flamenco. Inspired by artists unafraid to push creative boundaries, they freely incorporate other dance styles into their work.
Since forming in 2011, they have performed at numerous events across Southern California, including collaborations with the Kol Sephardic Choir, appearances at the San Pedro Dance Festival, and shows at various dance venues throughout Los Angeles. They have also shared the stage with guest guitarists like Adam Del Monte and other top flamenco artists, and participated in benefit performances such as a fundraiser for the AIDS Research Alliance (ARA) in support of HIV-cure research and many others.
