COMENTARIOS SOBRE LA ARTISTA: Diario de Sevilla: The best of the SEvillan Flamenco School is represented by Luisa Palicio. She is the best alumni of Milagros Menjibar, from who she takes the choreographies, but also the attitude. Honey and strength… She is a metaphor of earth and love…

Diario de Sevilla: Luisa Palicio, fresh, sexy, pletoric. Each day bigger, more woman, more dancer. She makes the space round with her moving hips, her sexy shoulders. She is baroque, erotic, excessive, but at the same time, clean, white, pure, virgin like. A feminine ideal that has the capacity to adapt to different times because she is eternal. (Juan Vergillos).

Correo de Andalucía: Luisa Palicio make us think that we have hopes for the real flamenco dance, she left us mouth open in an incredible Solea, and specially so sexy that one wanted to get up and shout Viva Sevilla! (Manolo Bohórquez).

Sur: with the dance of Luisa Palicio we arrived to ecstasy’s.

Luisa demonstrates that pure flamenco is still possible. Her arms and her waist move so gentle and at the same time sexy…A return to classical flamenco, to the essence thanks to this young artist.

El Mundo: Luisa Palicio called our attention with a way of dancing with perfection and colored with the brushes of the SEvillan School, drawing with her arms incredible movements and playing as she wishes with her waist and with the use of the Bata de Cola. (Manuel Martín Martín).
