Cristina and her Team are beyond amazing and accommodating. She went above and beyond to teach my wife and me all the steps for this one particular song that we wanted to perform on and help made our event a successful one. I highly recommend using her services for any and all events and her crew were equally Super, especially her Guitarists and her dancers. Wonderful people with great Professionalism and I can’t wait to see them all again soon for my next event. I am extremely grateful to her and her crew for an absolutely splendid performance.
Thank you so much.

I had the pleasure of organizing a black tie event for a huge hospital fundraiser in our area. We hired Urban Flamenka to create atmosphere during cocktail hour, as well as during the very important show.
From start to finish Cristiana was professional, had great communication, and happily talked to us multiple times to ensure she knew exactly what we were looking for.
She was also able to communicate with the guitarist we hired, and they came up with a beautiful show that entranced all of the guests.
She was professional, had beautiful costumes, knew exactly what to do, and you could tell was a seasoned performer.
If you are looking for PASSIONATE Flamenco performers, I would start and end with her. She can handle all of your needs big or small, and is very direct and easy to communicate with, which can be very very hard to find in the dance world!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Hello,
I would like to thank Urban Flamenka and the guitarist for the beautiful and fabulous entertainment. I hosted a private dinner party for 22 of my friends with a Spanish theme. The entertainment was perfect for my event and everyone loved it. I will definitely hire then again.
Thank you

Thank you so much Stephanie for your review! We driver to maintain the highest standard in the flamenco art form. It was an absolute pleasure entertaining you and your guests. Thank you!
Christina, the guitarist, and singer, were absolutely mesmerizing. I threw a surprise party for my wife and 10 of her closest girlfriends, and for a full hour, this passionate trio played and danced their hearts out. It was as invigorating as I could've possibly imagined and I'm grateful for their talent and artistry. Made for an incredibly special birthday. Highly, highly recommend!

Cristina is one of the most authentic Flamenco acts you can find in LA. Incredible performer and dancer. Couldn't recommend Urban Flamenka enough.

Cristina was the absolute gem of our night !!! We recently had a pre-wedding celebration, and called her a day before our event , not sure if we would even get a reply. From the 1st sec we spoke, she was the kind of entertainment you pray for .. making sure to ask us all of our “likes/dislikes” and tailor making her performance for our preference. She was able to get a guitarist last min as well .. and wOw ! ! !
Amazing is an understatement!!! This duo totally rocked our night .. music was gripping , and her performance was passionate .. u could feel every move from the back of the room ! Absolutely spell binding .. and I cannot believe how modest she charges for such brilliant artistry . She interacted with our guests , and was so happy to be around !! We will most definitely be calling her again for a return performance. Thank you Cristina .. you gifted our night with unforgettable memories to remember! ♥️

The travel company I work for hosts a yearly event highlighting our top destinations. For Spain day, I booked Cristina to host a live flamenco dance class, and that's exactly what she did! Not only did she teach us some moves, she talked about the history of flamenco, and even did a Q and A after the class- her passion for this art is evident. Given this was a virtual event, we relied heavily on email to communicate- Cristina was always prompt and professional. I hope to book her again next year for an in person performance for my company.

Thanks so much Marc! Such a great group of dancers! It was our pleasure to invite your guests to share the excitement of the music!
Cristina and her guitarist, Molina, performed for my mother's 60th birthday. It was totally worth it and the highlight of the night. My mom and the whole family had such a blast watching them perform. When Cristina invited my mom to dance with her, my mom's face turned to pure joy. Cristina gave a captivating and mesmerizing performance and the guitarist played beautifully.
Cristina was so great to work with. She was flexible with our date and time after we needed to reschedule. She and Molina were very punctual and professional.
Thank you Urban Flamenka for making my mom's 60th birthday celebration a night we will never forget!

Christina and Eddie performed for my wife's 40th birthday party. They were timely, professional, and incredible performers. Christina even showed some of the party goers some Flamenco basics. I can not recommend this group enough. Do yourself a favor and book now. Their rates were more than reasonable and they were the highlight of the evening!!
