Flamenco Dance Workshop With Lia
LIA GRAINGER - Flamenco dancer and choreographer
Born in Vancouver, Lia Grainger began her flamenco dance training in 2002, studying with renowned local maestros Oscar Nieto and Kasandra “La China.” She cut her teeth performing at local flamenco tablao Kino Cafe and with Vancouver’s Mozaico Flamenco Dance Theatre, before relocating to Toronto and then Seville, Spain, to devote herself full-time to flamenco dance. From 2015 to 2019, Lia lived and trained full-time in Spain, first in Seville and later in Madrid, returning home to perform at festivals and arts centres across Canada. In 2019, the ensemble completed a 40-show tour of Canada and France. Lia was one of six North American flamenco dancers selected to compete in the 2017 CERTAMEN USA, a competition that takes place annually at Lincoln Center in New York City. In 2019, Lia founded Flamencolía Dance Company and Academy. The company’s first major work “La Forastera,” was nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding Peformance by an Individual.
