About Sonia Muñoz

Sonia Muñoz stepped into the flamenco dance world in 1989 at the studio of Toronto flamenco pioneer, Paula Moreno. Since then, she has been a fixture in Toronto’s local flamenco community, which has seen her take on the roles of flamenco dancer, teacher, curator and producer.

 

Sonia has performed with Toronto flamenco companies and taught at the Academy of Spanish Dance. She has also served as a juror for the Toronto Arts Council Dance Projects Program. Her passion for flamenco takes her to Spain on an annual basis to attend the country’s most important flamenco festivals, the Bienal de Flamenco in Sevilla and the Festival de Jerez. Sonia’s time in Spain has provided her with the privilege of witnessing hundreds of live performances with flamenco’s most accomplished artists. Her vast exposure to flamenco has allowed her to develop a solid knowledge based about the artists and their styles, as well as a sensitive eye for flamenco dance and its aesthetics. She has also developed a professional network of relationships with many of Spain’s most acclaimed flamenco artists. Since 2007, she has produced flamenco dance workshops with various collaborators, and more recently as sole producer.
