Emmy winner Yaelisa is a choreographer, dancer and producer of both her own company and artistic director of the famed New World Flamenco Festival and her productions have won awards for choreography, concept and music, constantly informed by the focus on both traditional and contemporary flamenco dance and music. "BailaHora" is a special evening focused on the female in flamenco, the bailaora, hence the title.
