Alicia de Castro is a dancer and teacher of Danza Estilizada Española and flamenco. Born in Madrid, she trained at the Real Conservatorio Profesional de Danza “Mariemma,” where she graduated in Spanish Dance, acquiring a solid technical foundation in flamenco, escuela bolera, estilizada, and folklore.

Throughout her career, she has furthered her training with some of the most prominent masters on the current scene, including Cristina Hoyos, Manuel Liñán, Alfonso Losa, La Moneta, David Paniagua, María Juncal, José Maya, Pedro Córdoba, and Belén López, among others. This path has contributed to the development of her own artistic language, combining technical rigor, musicality, and a deep understanding of flamenco rooted in both tradition and contemporaneity.

As a performer, she has worked with prestigious companies and productions, forming part of ensembles directed by Antonio Gades, Rafael Aguilar, Cristina Hoyos, and María Juncal, among others. She is currently a dancer with the María Pagés Company, with whom she has been touring nationally and internationally for more than two years.

Alongside her stage career, she carries out an intense pedagogical practice, an area to which she dedicates an essential part of her professional life. She has extensive teaching experience in numerous schools in Madrid, where she teaches flamenco and Spanish dance at different levels. She is also a faculty member and workshop instructor at the María Pagés Choreographic Center (Fuenlabrada).

Her pedagogical approach is characterized by a rigorous, sensitive teaching style that is deeply connected to the body, rhythm (compás), and expressiveness, offering her students technical and artistic tools for the comprehensive development of the flamenco dancer. She currently balances her work as an international performer with teaching and the transmission of flamenco as a living heritage.
