Rebeca has been deemed by the critics as “awesomely fiery” (New York Times), “masterful” (Eva YaaAsentawaa), and “a postcard image of the feminine Flamenco dancer” (Kansas City Metropolis). After years of performing and touring with such companies as Noche Flamenca and Flamenco Vivo, she founded A Palo Seco Flamenco Company. Acknowledged as an up and coming voice in the U.S. Flamenco community for an artistic vision deeply rooted in Flamenco tradition, yet relevant in a modern urban context, her productions have been proclaimed as “a feast for the eyes and the ears” (Theatre Online). In support of her artistic work, Tomas has received support from the LMCC, Jerome Foundation, Harkness Center for Dance, and she is presently a 2013 fellow in Choreography from the New York Foundation for the Arts. Rebeca began her formal dance training in Granada, Spain and later moved to Madrid, where she studied at the internationally renowned Flamenco Academy Amor de Dios.
