Performer: Valeriano Paños

Olga Pericet's choreography grasps the essence of of the exceptional flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya.

It is certainly fortunate that this year London Flamenco Festival, which is proudly celebrating its tenth anniversary, has a small section in the programme entitled Beyond Flamenco. Comprising productions and events that offer a less orthodox look at this style of Spanish gypsy-rooted dancing, it complements the all-star programme in the Sadler’s Wells main auditorium.
