Joaquin Cortes once said, "I am anti-critic; one shouldn't dance for the critics but for the people and for oneself." The flamenco dancer has garnered both praise and criticism for his modern interpretation of the traditional dance from the Andalusia region.
On one hand, Cortes has expanded the audience for flamenco, bringing it to countries such as Korea. He'll be performing at Sejong Center for the Performing Arts from June 24 to 28.
On the other, Cortes has mutated flamenco, often using modern music. Critics have even derided Cortes' mode of dancing barechested. But when his performance, never mind his body, is beautiful enough to get the attention of Georgio Armani, who now designs his costumes, and to land Cortes invitations around the world, the critics barely seem relevant.
