Carlota Santana has been hailed by Dance Magazine as "the Keeper of Flamenco" for her commitment to creating new works and cultivating young dancers, choreographers, musicians and composers in the traditional Spanish genre. Her acclaimed dance company, Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana, will bring its fiery performance style to Goodhart Theater at 8 p.m., on Friday, Feb. 16.

Santana co-founded the Spanish Dance Arts Company, which later became Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana, in 1983. Since then, says The New York Times , the company has developed into "one of New York's most skilled and enterprising Spanish dance troupes." Attitude praises the dancers' "smoldering sensuality and polish" as they address themes of pride, sorrow, love and death.
