Ms. CarOlé Tachíria Acuña Flamenco

CarOlé Flamenco is a fifth-generation mixed-race Afro-Latina flamenco and Spanish dancer of Gitana, Spanish, and Mexican heritage, union actor, stand-up comedian, mezzo-soprano singer, choreographer, published author, flamencologist, and Master of Fine Arts candidate. She is the director and principal artist of CarOlé Flamenco's Compañía FSDT, the oldest flamenco and Spanish dance company lineage in the Americas, rooted in a Gitano family legacy carried by five generations of women, mother to daughter, since 1894. She is the creator of The CarOlé Technique. Her voice and percussion recordings are for Lucasfilm. A survivor, now a thriver: survivance, preservation, evolution. Highlights: "Top Flamenco Dancer in America" (So You Think You Can Dance); hand-selected by Jennifer Lopez for ¡Qué Viva! The Chosen; Isadora Duncan Dance Award nominee; "Flamenco Star" (Sunset Magazine).
