Anita La Maltesa
Born in London, Anita attended the 'Kenmore School for Dancing' at the age of five. By the age of 16 she had completed the ISTD 'Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing' Syllabus and went on to further her dancing career performing in the UK.
In 1985, her interests turned to flamenco music and dance. Having studied the basic forms of the art in London, she moved to the heart of Andalucia, Seville, where she received personal tuition from highly acclaimed dancers, namely, Juana Amaya, Matilde Coral and La Tona. Using her singing talents in Spanish song, she interpreted rumbas and sevillanas in the Andalucian Ferias between 1991 and 1994.
In 1995 she relocated to London where she joined forces with flamenco guitarist, Ramon Ruiz and formed the company 'Fiesta Flamenca' performing in renowned British theatres, to list a few, the Bloomsbury Theatre, The Purcell Room and the Olympia Exhibition Centre, London.
She has performed live on BBC1 and LWT 'Saturday Night Alwright' with Ian Wright. In 1997 she joined the award-winning flamenco comedy show 'OLE' that tour worldwide, and in April 1999 with a full flamenco ensemble made her first appearance at the Royal Albert Hall, London.
