Auxi Fernández, flamenco dancer and actress from Cádiz, is renowned for her improvisational ability and deeply expressive flamenco style.
 

One of Auxi’s main distinguishing features is her natural talent for improvisation, making each performance largely unrepeatable. When jazz legend Chick Corea saw her dance in New York (an impromptu bulería in his dressing room after a concert at Blue Note), he decided to include her in his project “Touchtone”, leading to three international tours across Asia, Europe, and North America, as well as the recording of the DVD “The Ultimate Adventure – Live in Barcelona.”

​

She has shared the stage with renowned musicians and dancers such as Farruquito, Jorge Pardo, Carles Benavent, Rubén Dantas, Jeff Ballard, Béla Fleck, Simon Shaheen, Concha Buika, Juan Pérez “Aure,” Antonio Serrano, Niño Josele, Ashok Pathak, and La Tana, among others.

​

Auxi began her professional career at just 15 years old at Tablao Cordobés in Barcelona, and went on to perform at the most prestigious tablaos in Spain. She balanced this work with international tours alongside Sara Baras, Chick Corea, and Jorge Pardo, while also pursuing dramatic arts studies at Juan Carlos Corazza’s renowned school in Madrid.

She lived in New York for four and a half years, where she created four flamenco productions (Encontrándote, Caminos, Flamenco, and Aires Flamencos) for the Flamenco Festivals of New York, Chicago, and Tucson. In 2014, she was nominated for New York’s prestigious ACE Awards in the category of “Best Musical Theater Production” for her show Flamenco. During that time, she also studied acting at the acclaimed Susan Batson Studio in New York.
