Ginette has performed in the Washington DC flamenco scene since 2003 as a soloist at venues such as Tapeo, Cabanas, Andalucía Restaurant, Casablanca, Las Tapas, La Tasca, and
Jaleo. In 2003 Ms. Perea was part of the International Children's Festival at Wolftrap and the National Theater. For two consecutive years, she directed highly successful shows for the New years annual event, First Night Alexandria.
Ginette has been studying flamenco since 1999 in Virginia and Washington DC. She studied flamenco with various teachers including Sara Candela, Edwin Aparicio, Anna Menendez and most recently with Ulrika Frank as well as workshops with visiting artists La Tati and La Truco, and in Spain with the well-known young flamenco artist Juan de Juan. Ms. Perea has been a part of the 4-H organization in Arlington Virginia, were she taught children the art of flamenco dance for a semester. Ms Perea is a natural performer who takes the time to carefully create and learn choreographies while still leaving room for improvisation—a skill that she has honed in her tablao experience. As a teacher and a young person herself, Ginette inspires her students with her enthusiasm for passing on the wisdom of her onstage experience and the pure joy of self-expression. Ginette gives her students the opportunity to feel the flamenco passion, boost their energy and enhance their soul. Ole Flamenco!
She performs frequently with guitarist Miguelito at Washington DC venues such as Plaza del Sol in Bethesda, Las Tapas in Old Town Alexandria and Cafe Citron in Dupont Circle and in various festival and private performances.
Here are some pictures from one of her many appearances at Plaza del Sol, Cafe Citron Las Tapas and Cabanas.
