Calo Gitano Flamenco Academy, Atlanta

Though flamenco dancing has its roots in Spain, its influence has spread throughout the world, something the staff members at Caló Gitano Flamenco Dance Company know personally. The instructors and dancers, who hail from countries including Venezuela, Brazil, Panama, and Japan, share their passion for the traditional Spanish folk dance in an array of classes. They welcome children and adults alike, teaching beginners proper technique and showing more advanced students rapid footwork skills for lighting floors on fire. They also dazzle onlookers with performances throughout the Southeast, and have appeared on CBS46's Better Mornings Atlanta.
