Paloma Madrid, born in 1974 and raised in Fisksätra outside Stockholm, began her dance career at the age of five and has since explored different dance styles. From ballet as a child to contemporary and modern jazz as a teenager, before finally choosing to become a flamenco dancer. Now she keeps her practice alive in clubs and is active as a choreographer, artist and teacher. As a prominent artist, she has come to describe herself as an "investigator of the poetic body", and her work continuously explores collaborative art forms and the borderland between choreography and art. Madrid's work constantly seeks new opportunities for the mind and body to redefine dance and choreography.
