Nalanie Molina

A proud Chicago native whose love for Spanish dance began in 2011 through Ensemble Español. Under their guidance—and alongside a diverse umbrella of guest artists from Spain and beyond—she has studied classical, folkloric, and flamenco dance for over a decade. For the past 8 years, Nalanie has immersed herself in the world of flamenco tablao, embracing its raw improvisation, rhythm, and emotional depth. Her artistry has expanded into choreography, where she fuses tradition with her own creative voice.

Nalanie has not only trained and performed with Ensemble Español, but has also ventured beyond, bringing her passion for Spanish dance, specifically Flamenco, to various venues and cultural spaces throughout Chicago. From intimate tablaos to community stages, her presence is rooted in authenticity and connection.

As an educator, Nalanie proudly shares this artform with the next generation—teaching youth across the city and nurturing their creative spirits with culture, discipline, and corazón.

Her mission is to move audiences emotionally through her personal experiences, using flamenco as a vessel for storytelling, healing, and expression.
