Hailed as a “dancer of distinction” by The NY Times, Marina Elana has spent the past twenty years performing alongside the likes of Pastora Galván, Juan José Amador, and El Torombo. She began her flamenco studies with Adela Clara and launched her career with Theatre Flamenco of San Francisco, La Mónica, and Yaelisa and Caminos Flamencos before going on to tour nationally and internationally for over a decade with Soledad Barrio & Noche Flamenca. Marina has presented her choreography at Jacob's Pillow, New York International Fringe Festival, the Queensboro Dance Festival, and her alma mater, Stanford University. In 2019, Marina’s production with Fanny Ara, “Tattooed, ” premiered at the Presidio Theatre to critical acclaim and was lauded by dance critic Rene Renouf as “one of the most effective flamenco performances I have ever seen.”
