Summary
Discussion of Omayra Amaya's dance company Amaya, Flamenco Sin Limites, which seeks to blend flamenco dancing with elements of modern dance, jazz dancing, and ballet. Kavoos Deilamian, a company administrator, describes the historical background of flamenco ; he and dancer Sabrina Aviles discuss the non-traditional nature of Amaya's work. In a pre-recorded interview Amaya talks about her family heritage as Gypsy flamenco dancers ; her studies of other dance forms at Boston Conservatory ; the formation of her own company in 1993, and its goals. She also discusses the different rhythms used in flamenco ; the contrasts between classical and regional Spanish dancing and flamenco ; the improvisational element in flamenco dance and music ; her artistic goals, which include attracting a wider audience for flamenco by demonstrating its universal appeal ; her experience as a teacher in her own studio and elsewhere. Video excerpts depict a solo performed by Amaya, and a bulerias finale with solos by company members, including Aviles and Amaya.
