Flamenco José Porcel
Ballet
Flamenco José Porcel performs a seductive blend of traditional
and modern flamenco, an evocative art form that probably originated
around the 15th century, during the Gypsies' encounter with
the people of southern Spain. A former principal with the National
Ballet of Spain, Porcel has performed to wide acclaim and his
lavish music and dance spectacles display both abundant creative
genius and a desire to challenge convention while honoring tradition.
Spain's El Pais has praised Porcel for "a stamp that differentiates
him from the typical dancer, with his breadth and lean profile,
his strong dramatic accent that helps him to command respect
on the stage."
