Omayra Amaya

Omayra Amaya Shanghai Flamenco Workshop
is coming soon in Feb


Omayra Amaya's legacy is one of a deep and proud gypsy flamenco tradition. The daughter of Olga and Curro Amaya and grandniece of arguably the greatest Flamenco dancer who ever lived, Carmen Amaya, Omayra accepts the responsibility of her heritage with the same passion and uncontrolled vagrancy of Gypsy spirit as those of her lineage. Her daily exposure to the cultural roots of flamenco, with all of its subtleties and fervency, cultivated her innate love for the art and supplied the foundation of her style and technique.。

Omayra first appeared on stage with her parent’s company, often interrupting their performances. Her first choreographed role came at age twelve, when she performed as her father’s partner. By the time Omayra was fifteen, she was touring and performing internationally with her parents and performing with Rosario Galan and Antonio Santaella. Already a seasoned performer, Omayra sought to expand and enrich her art by studying other dance forms. She attended the Boston Conservatory where she received a BFA in Dance and Choreography.

· Established her own dance company, Amaya, Flamenco Limites in 1993.
