REVIEWS:

Gia Kourlas, New York Times. "Flmanenco with Soulfulness and a Burst of Springtime," 1/31/11. (from "A Palo Seco: Rasgos Flamencos")

• "When she swept onto the stage for her alegrías solo... Ms. Tomás was like a burst of springtime. Wearing a flowing dress in pinks and purples and flicking her long ruffled train like a mermaid’s tail, Ms. Tomás contrasted her winsome spirit with a more serious display of prickling footwork that rooted her into the floor with an earthy power."

Jack Anderson, New York Times. "Arts: The Week Ahead." 1/21/11.

• "This New York flamenco artist is both a devoted traditionalist and a restless experimenter. She respects the achievements of her art, yet is eager to stretch its boundaries.... Whether they are formally traditional or experimental, all of her dances may be fierce, for Ms. Tomás, though physically tiny, can be awesomely fiery."

Eva Yaa Asantewaa, InfiniteBody (from "A Palo Seco," 5/14/10):

• “...a masterful flamenco dancer...Tomás holds nothing back...she's truly a well-crafted explosive device.”

Lindsay Miller, Theater On-Line (from "A Palo Seco," 5/14/10):

• "Tomás is a fierce, intense dancer with a commanding presence on the stage... 'A Palo Seco' as a whole was truly a feast for the eyes and the ears.”

Beau Bledsoe, Kansas City Metropolis. "El Chiquero," 11/17/09. (from Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca’s “El Chiquero”):

• “Rebeca Tomás performed a Guajira that did exactly what a Guajira is supposed to do - coquettishly charm the heart out of your chest to rest it atop her big red fan. During her colossal buleria finale, she incorporated some very convincing torero (bullfighter) moves with her long red ruffled bata (train) adding a bit of male bravado to a postcard image of the feminine Flamenco dancer."
