Miguel Fernández “El Yiyo” (Badalona, 1996) is a flamenco dancer from a Roma family with roots in Jaén. He began appearing professionally in tablaos as a child after being noticed at a family celebration, and by age eleven had already completed an international tour. His formation blends self-directed study—he is often described as part of a “YouTube generation” of dancers—with direct contact with senior figures he cites as references, including Eduardo Serrano “El Güito”, Joaquín Cortés, Farruquito, and Antonio Canales.

El Yiyo’s career spans intimate flamenco spaces and major stages. He has been presented at Madrid’s Teatro Real within the Flamenco Real series, including the productions Jubileo (2023) and A mi aire (2024). Teatro Real’s artist profile also notes touring abroad with his own projects and shared stages with leading figures of contemporary cante and baile (including Estrella Morente and Miguel Poveda, among others).

Outside the theatre, his visibility has extended into fashion and media; Teatro Real cites appearances in Vogue and interest from major brands. Across formats, El Yiyo is recognized for a stage presence that reads as alert and adaptive: a dancer who treats improvisation as a compositional tool and builds structure through listening as much as through steps.
