Blanca has devoted her life to the pursuit of unveiling her own language as a dancer and artist.
Against all odds, she followed the career of a belly dancer from her childhood in Mexico where the profession did not yet exist. "since i was a teen there has been nothing as important to me as becoming a good dancer. The dance has taught me compassion, made me grow in infinite ways and continues to allow me to tap into my deepest artistic expression.
"I became a belly dancer against my conservative beginnings... against the notion that to be a dancer one has to be a size zero, and start ballet at age 3. After years of painful work, I realized that it was all for nothing--until i connected with my spiritual side and began to dance from there."
Blanca is a protege of acclaimed teacher and choreographer Jehan Kamal and shares her mission of placing bellydance back on the sacred altar where it belongs.
She is a company member and featured soloist in the off-Broadway show Goddessdance and has also performed onstage with Alabina and the surrealist gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello. Her television credits include the Bollywood Music Awards, which aired worldwide, as well as multiple appearances on Spanish television networks Univision and Telemundo, Fox and BBC. She has performed at venues as diverse as Trump's Taj Mahal, the Brooklyn Museum of art and Lincoln Center. Other credits include: Rolling Stone, Universal Pictures, MTV, and Disney.
Blanca is featured in The Golden Apple: Bellydance Stars of New York, The Ultimate Bellydance Fitness, Gothic Bellydance and Bellydance for Core Fitness DVDs.
Blanca's dance has reached diverse audiences that include celebrities, diplomats and royalty. Click here for a partial list of clients and venues.
