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.
