Carlota Santana: Dancer in New York

About Carlota Santana

Carlota Santana is a flamenco dancer and artistic director whose work is closely associated with New York City stages, including The Joyce Theater. She leads Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana, a company that frames flamenco as both concert dance and living tradition. In works such as *Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana: QUINTO ELEMENTO*, she favors structural clarity and rhythmic precision over spectacle. Her programs often highlight the dialogue between cante, guitar, and movement, keeping the form’s communal roots in view.
