among the flamenco community.
In Jerez, she's danced in "Parilla" tablao, "La Taberna Flamenca" and

was invited to perform with other Jerez artists, (Luis El Mono, Ali de
la Tota, Juanilloro etc) in the esteemed annual festival event, "Las
Noches de la Plazuela", which takes place in one of the oldest and most
prestigious peñas in Andalusia, "Los Cernícalos".
Apart from being an experienced performer, Ester is also a very
