BIO

Born in Madrid, Spain, daughter of the celebrated Spanish dancer, José Greco, Carmela began studying dance at age 11. 

Before forming her own dance company in 1980, she was a member of many prestigious dance companies and has performed and taught all over the world.

Carmela has danced in popular “tablaos” throughout Spain including: Torres Bermejas, Café de Chinitas, Corral de la Morería, Los Canasteros and Corral de la Pacheca.

In 1998 she joined her father’s company and made her NY debut at the Joyce Theater.  In that same year, she joined the instructors at the famous dance academy “Amor de Dios”, In Madrid.  In 1995, she performed as guest artist with the company of José Greco II in the Flamenco Festival in Albuquerque, the Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami and the Lincoln Center in NY.  In 1998 she performed at the prestigious Jacob’s Pillow, in Becket, MA.

In 1999, together, with her sister Lola Greco, they presented the production “Raza” in the Bellas Artes Theater in Madrid which subsequently lead to a tour in Italy to participate in renowned gala events.

In 2002 she toured Japan for 6 months with her own company and later returned to Japan with the production “Climax”.  This production was created with Lola Greco and Jose Greco II in honor of their late father, Jose Greco.  She danced in the Bienanial in Sevilla under the direction of Paco Suárez, in “Orestes in Lisboa” appearing with top artists such as Rafael Carrasco, Manuel Reyes, Antonio Reyes and Alejandro Granados.

Carmela continues to lead her dance company and conduct workshops and master classes throughout the world.
