Flamenco in Photos

The Flamenco Festival has been bringing Spain's greatest flamenco artists to New York City Center for twenty years. This year's two-week run saw the National Ballet of Spain, Premio Nacional de Danza winner Olga Pericet in her intimate solo piece, “La Leona,” and Gala Flamenca, highlighting dance talents Manuel Liñán, Alfonso Losa, El Yiyo, and Paula Comitre, accompanied by vocalist Sandra Carrasco. Steven Pisano photographed the festival for Fjord Review.
