Pastora Galván

Masterclass for Philadelphia Flamenco Festival (2014)

Daughter of José Galván, Pastora Galván (Seville, 1980) carries dance in her blood. From her family heritage, and the influence of her brother Israel Galván, an artist who brings Flamenco dance to the forefront, she has taken a path of her own that has led her to be one of the most prestigious dancers of today.

After studying Spanish Dance at the Seville Conservatory, Galván traveled to the United States with the San Francisco Flamenco Theater Company. She has taken dance to the main Spanish theaters and tablaos, as well as to numerous cities in Europe, Japan, the United States and the Middle East, and to festivals such as the Bienal de Flamenco, Mont-de-Marsans, the Festival de Jerez, Montpellier Dance or the Nîmes Flamenco Festival, among others.

Pastora Galván was a featured artist for the 2014 Philadelphia Flamenco Festival where she taught several masterclasses in addition to performing.
