Rosanna Terracciano is an independent flamenco dance artist based in Calgary, Alberta, who has trained intensively in both Spain and Canada. In Spain, Rosanna has had the opportunity to participate in classes and workshops with a combination of traditional and more contemporary flamenco dance teachers, including Israel Galvan, La Truco, El Guito, Manolete, Andres Marin, La Cintia, Belen Fernandez, Angelita Gomez, Ana Maria Lopez, Matilde Coral, Rocio Coral and Manolo Marin. Rosanna has also studied with a number of Canadian flamenco dance teachers, most recently training intensively with Myriam Allard in Montreal for three months in 2008.

Since 2005, Rosanna has co-produced, along with her sister Graziella Terracciano, several flamenco dance productions in Calgary. Rosanna has also performed alongside various artists, including Montreal-based flamenco company La Otra Orilla in Quebec City in 2008.

In addition to flamenco dance, Terracciano also received early contemporary dance training through the University of Calgary Program of Dance. Since 2002, Terracciano has also choreographed and danced in flamenco and contemporary-based solo works for Dancers’ Studio West’s Alberta Dance Explosions Festival of Choreography, as well as E Merge at the Fluid Movement Arts Festival produced by Springboard Dance.
