Stars of the Festival
Fuensanta "La Moneta"
Her passion for dance originates from the early childhood. Even being very young, Fuensanta performed n the famous Granada and Sacromonte tablaos. She took the skills from the best of the best - Manolete, Javier Latorre and Mario Maya, Juana Amaya, Matilde Corral, Israel Galván, etc. Despite her young age, Fuensanta La Moneta has already successfully performed in the largest and most popular tablaos, participated in Flamenco festivals and given concerts in the European theaters. Fuensanta La Moneta has everything a professional dancer needs: high expression, great possession of compás, extensive knowledge of cante and natural talent to construct and execute even the most complicated dance with that ease, which gives us the meaning of the word "art". Flamenco is in her blood. La Unión's 2003 Las Minas Festival (Murcia) awarded her first prize in the baile contest, winning the ‘El Desplante’ trophy, paving this young performer the way to such tablaos as EL Monte, Biennale in Seville, Jerez Festival, and festivals taking place in Japan, France, Germany, the USA, Mexico and Switzerland.
