Mia de Lourdes and Olivia Chacon at Carmens

Carmens de la Calle is proud to present Mia de Lourdes and Olivia Chacon, for a full-circle
moment of flamenco on Friday, 4 September 2026 at 7:30 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. at the legendary
Carmens de la Calle café, 320 N. Flores Street, San Antonio Texas, 78205.
Mia de Lourdes, based in Madrid, Spain, joins her mentor Olivia Chacon onstage once again
after studying with her as a child. Olivia Chacon and Isai Chacon are the directors of A ́lanté
Flamenco based in Austin, Texas, which they founded after an extensive residency in Spain.
Mia de Lourdes, was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, where she first fell in love with
flamenco at the age of four. Since then, she has dedicated her life to the art, establishing
herself as a professional flamenco dancer in Madrid, Spain. She is deeply committed to the art
of tablao, the core art of flamenco which requires complete connection between artists to
enable spontaneity and improvisation onstage in a singular moment. Mia’s artistry reflects a
profound respect for flamenco—not merely as a dance form, but as a lifelong practice, and a
way of life.
This one-time performance is an opportunity for Mia de Lourdes to come back to her
hometown and share her work with the community that made her the artist and person she is
today. Witness this full-circle moment of San Antonio flamenco history with Mia de Lourdes,
Olivia Chacon, guitarist Isai Chacon, and singer Guille Gonzalez. Following the performance,
flamenco dancers throughout the community are invited to come dance with us. Audience
members will be given the option to attend both or either of the shows, each of which will be
unique.
