Eva Izquierdo

I was born and raised in Triana , the most emblematic hood in Seville, Spain. 
When I was 6 y.o. I have started dancing flamenco and I felt in love with it. Getting back to 1997 Germany, searching the seeds of my currently businnes, I have started teaching flamenco to absolute beginners as a student exchange at the Fachhochschule Aachen. Studying bussines and teaching flamenco, simply amazing. I got a Bussiness degree at Sevilla University, a carreer in Shopping Center Manager, a teaching children and adults background and the feeling of having found my way: sharing music, dance, flamenco, energy and light with special people. I founded IShowU Sevilla in 2013: learning flamenco with Eva, a passionate local flamenco expert.

Malena Alba

I was born in 1993 in the Triana neighborhood, and was surrounded by Flamenco since my childhood. As the daughter of a Japanese mother and flamenco dancer and a Sevillian father, I began dancing at the age of six.
When I was eight, I began training at the Dance Conservatory in Seville, enriching myself with the disciplines of classical ballet, Spanish dance and Flamenco. As young as nine, I participated in the ballet "El Cascanuteces" in the prestigious  theater, the Maestranza in Seville and a year later in the opera "Fausto". I collaborated in the show “Tierra Interior” by Cristina Hoyos at the age of thirteen.
I continues my training with teachers of great caliber such as Isabel Bayón, Ángel Atienza, Andrés Peña, Adela Campallo, Francis Nuñez and Jose Galván.
At nineteen, I began performing in various tablaos in Andalusia and in places like Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, South Korea. Along with my teacher, José Galvan and his company, we toured with the works “Guajiro” and “Dancing Camarón”.
By the time, my Flamenco career also included teaching, beginning classes at the age of twenty-one.
Currently I continue my Flamenco journey performing shows in Seville and teaching dance with I Show U Sevilla.

Mathilde Keddache

My name is Mathilde, I am French and I am a big lover of dance since a young age ! I have danced different styles: ballet, jazz, contemporary, salsa, street dance. At the age of 6, during a feria in the south of France, I was in awe of a flamenco dancer and I decided to add this dance to my long list of activities.
At the age of 17, I learned flamenco from Marta Balparda and Stephanie Fuster in Toulouse. After finishing my higher studies in education and child psychology, I decided to move to Seville and dedicate my life to my passion. I joined the prestigious “Fundacion Cristina Hereen” school in Triana. I trained with the best flamenco dancers: Luisa Palicio, El Chorro, Eva "La Yerbabuena", Javier Barron, Fernando Jimenez, Beatriz Rivero, Miguel Angel Herredia, Rafael Campallo…
In 2023, I obtained a scholarship for one more year in this school as a semi-professional.
I am happy to share my passion with you and have a good time together!

Diego Reyes

I am a flamenco guitarist born in Córdoba and since childhood has lived in Seville. In my family there are great Flamenco artists from the middle of the 19th century such as: La Jilica, El Cuacua, Paco el Clavero or Manuel de Palma. I began playing flamenco guitar at the age of seven with my uncle Manuel de Palma. At the age of sixteen, I entered the Cristóbal de Morales Conservatory doing intermediate studies specializing in Flamenco Guitar and at twenty-three specialized further in Flamenco Guitar towards achieving a higher degree at the Rafael Orozco Conservatory in Córdoba. In 2022, I achieved a Master of Flamenco degree at the Pablo de Olavide University in Seville. In the artistic field I have worked in different flamenco peñas and festivals, currently performing in different tablaos in Seville and with IShowU Sevilla as a guitarist accompanying flamenco dance classes and singing.
