FLAMENCO DANCER & DANCE MAKER

GO Flamenca began as a play on words incorporating Genevieve Obregon's name and her philosophy toward the arts. "Go, flamenca!" encapsulates Genevieve's approach to dance. She wants to encourage all people to dance if the moment strikes them, but also to move forward, grow, and express themselves through the medium of flamenco dance and experience the transcendent magic that ensues!

Genevieve grew up in San Antonio, Texas where she began dancing flamenco and folklorico during childhood. She has danced with companies across the country including the Maru Montero Dance Company, Austin Flamenco Dance Company, and Arte y Pasión.  Genevieve has studied under many strong flamenco figures nationally and internationally.  She has traveled to Sevilla and Madrid for intensive flamenco training at Amor de Dios and FlamencoDanza and regularly visits Albuquerque, NM to attend the ever-inspiring NIFNM Flamenco Festival.  Genevieve has competed in the Flamenco Vivo Certamen (Tablao Division) in New York City.   As part of this opportunity, she completed a residency at the Kaatsbaan Cultural Park in Upstate NY under the mentorship of esteemed flamenco artists Isaac Tovar and Florencia Oz. 

Genevieve currently teaches young people and adults at the Guadalupe Dance Academy  in San Antonio, TX. She works to organize events, shows, and workshops with artists from around the globe to nourish the flamenco community in Texas.  Genevieve considers herself a lifelong learner and lover of dance and enjoys sharing what she knows about flamenco with her dedicated students and creating opportunities for the growth of the flamenco community in San Antonio whenever possible.
