Whether stomping and clapping the idiosyncratic beat of the music, gracefully curling and twisting wrists and arms to the emotional cante jondo, or puncturing a dancer's performance with ecstatic jaleos, the Omayra Amaya, Flamenco Dance Company quickly infects its audience with its powerful stage presence. While the Company embraces the traditional roots of flamenco through passionate singing, syncopated rythms, and fiery footwork, Omayra adds a bold, sophisticated stitch to the beautiful tapestry of flamenco. By blending the intricate rhythms of American jazz with traditional flamenco song, she brings her artform to a sublime new plane.
