The Malaga-born flamenco dancer Paco Mora wowed Beijing with a full-length show, Blood Wedding, at Poly Theater last December. One year later, the Spaniard returns with a gala entitled Malaga Flamenco Passion, with three shows at the same venue.
Directed and choreographed by Mora, the show features a variety of flamenco styles and takes audiences back to the development of the dance genre. Mora, 17 of his dancers from Ballet Flamenco Espanol, a singer and band, will demonstrate their skills.
The 35-year-old Mora began to stand out as a professional flamenco dancer after creating the company La Jabera, which was first introduced at Madrid's 7th Spanish Dance and Flamenco Choreography Contest in 1998.
