What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?

Flamenco originated in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, and has roots in the folkloric traditions of the Roma people. It’s also influenced by Islamic, Sephardic, and Moorish cultures.

What background, training, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?

Omayra Amaya is modern flamenco dancer and choreographer deeply rooted in proud gypsy tradition. The daughter of flamenco dancers Olga and Curro Amaya and grandniece of the legendary Carmen Amaya, Omayra brings new relevance to flamenco while never losing sight of her legacy.

Omayra and her company have performed at Lincoln Center and the Players Theater in New York City; flamenco festivals in Madrid, Chicago, Houston, and Los Angeles; the Shanghai Theater Center in Shanghai and the Guo Tai Theater in ChongQin, China; and in a critically acclaimed nine-month residency at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. Omayra has also appeared on film: She was the subject of “Gypsy Heart,” a documentary by Jocelyn Ajami, and performed with Steve Martin in “The Pink Panther II.”

Finish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…

…It is my way of expression / communication.
