Rina Orellana relocated to Southern California from Madrid. While living in Spain, she trained intensively with some of Spain's most renowned artists.

As a soloist and dancer with Yaelisa & Caminos Flamencos in her native San Francisco, she worked alongside notable Spanish artists such as Juan Ogalla, Domingo Ortega and Manuel de la Malena.

From this unique background she has been able to develop her own strong style that is both contemporary and puro.

Currently, Rina has established herself in Southern California as a choreographer, dance instructor and soloist. She is artistic director of Compañía Flamenca Rina Orellana, which debuted in 2007 to an enthusiastic sold out audience.
