Featuring talented musicians and dancers in colorful costumes, Furia Flamenca is an award-winning dance company that specializes in emotionally explosive and dynamically choreographed performances that combine traditional flamenco from southern Spain with modern flamenco forms.

Since its founding in 2004, Furia Flamenca has performed at the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Theatre, National Theatre, Wolf Trap, and other prestigious venues and festivals. The group has won two Metro DC Dance awards and five finalist nominations.
