Like most flamenco, Noche Flamenca is passionate, dramatic and intense.

But there is more in less to the award-winning Spanish dance troupe. Noche Flamenca is committed to presenting flamenco in its purest form.

The dance company performs at 8 p.m. today at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.

"The show is very stripped-down flamenco. Down to its essence," said Martin Santangelo, artistic director for the dance company. "There are no tricks, no gimmicks as far as big lighting, sets or dazzle. At the same time we do a very theatrical production."

Noche Flamenca, founded in Madrid in 1993, will feature three dancers, three singers and two guitar players.
