About Mizuho
Born in Iwate, Japan, Mizuho Sato began her classical ballet training at the tender age of 2.5. Her early passion for dance led her to the Royal Ballet Academy in England for summer studies, but it was during her university years in Tokyo that she discovered flamenco, igniting a transformative journey. She honed her craft in Seville, studying with esteemed instructors before returning to Japan to perform in renowned tablaos.
Mizuho's talent was recognized at the age 20 by the Japanese Flamenco Association and the Ambassador of Spain. She further refined her skills in Spain, learning from luminaries such as Los Farrucos in Sevilla and at Amor de Dios in Madrid. Relocating to Los Angeles in 2003, she started showcasing her artistry at prominent venues including The Fountain Theatre, El CID, and the Ford Theatre, etc.
Mizuho founded her own company, Mizuho Sato Flamenco Company, in San Francisco in 2018. She has collaborated with influential artists and received accolades, including performances with the Los Angeles Opera's Carmen, as a featured soloist in the Isadora Duncan Award-winning production SOLAZ, and shared stages with legendary Spanish artists at Flamenco Arts Festival in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles International Flamenco Festival. In 2023 she got nominated for Isadora Duncan Awards “Outstanding Achievement- Individual Performance” with her own multi-genre choreography.
An educator at Stanford University and a multifaceted artist, Mizuho continues to enrich the cultural landscape with her dynamic creativity
