“Evocative and exciting” (Las Vegas Review-Journal) Spain’s premiere flamenco dancer and choreographer, José Porcel, and his company of gifted dancers and musicians dazzle audiences with an explosion of passionate rhythms, powerful movement, vibrant colors, and breathtaking choreography. In his new production, Gypsy Fire, Porcel presents the purest, oldest, and most fiery forms of flamenco. Porcel has been dancing Andalusian folkloric dances and flamenco since the age of 13, and has spent his life studying in Madrid with the masters of the craft. Now he brings his extraordinary company to the Center for the Arts to share the customs, the culture, the art and, most of all, the passion of the gypsy people. “Exceptionally well-trained dancers…crisp technique and rhythmically solid.” (The Washington Post) Series Sponsor: HSBC
