“Aire Fresco” (Tangillo)
All the company
A presentation of cheerful movements that require great coordination. A festive dance.

“Soledad” (seguirilla)
José Porcel
One of the strong dances within the flamenco range, performed in a virile style, expressing great inner feeling.

“Fuerzas” (Farruca)
Bailaores
Three different personalities. Three different styles. Three different dancers with different energies to create a single line of expression.

“Vivencias” (Solea)
All the company
Coordination and the expression of unity in the expansion of one of the intermediate themes of flamenco. Complex choreographic movements.

“Union” (Taranto)
Leading bailaora and José Porcel
The leading bailaora of the company and José Porcel express their emotions through movement and entwine their feelings generating moments of sensuality and passion onstage.

“Mujeres” (Rondena)
Bailaoras
A flamenco dance in which the bailaoras of the company perform light, rounded movements wherein the dresses with long trains are the protagonists. The castanets are used as a rhythmic accompaniment adding color and harmony to the piece.

“A mi manera” (Alegrias)
José Porcel
A solo in which José Porcel is moved by his state of spirit, improvising throughout a large section of the piece with the intention of reaching a disturbing connection with the public.

“Fiesta flamenco”
All the company
The company bids farewell with an emotive finish. Color, joy and festivity aspiring to transmit an enthralling finale to all the spectators.

A dazzling company of “lithe and accomplished” flamenco dancers (accompanied by guitarists, vocalists, and other musicians) will ignite the Folly stage with passionate artistry. Spanish-born star dancer and choreographer
José Porcel blends traditional and contemporary flavors to create fresh flamenco moves that snap and sizzle.
