The daughter of Olga and Curro Amaya and grandniece of arguably the greatest Flamenco dancer who ever lived, Carmen Amaya, Omayra accepts the responsibility of her heritage with the same passion and uncontrolled vagrancy of Gypsy spirit as those of her lineage. As a faculty member of the Boston Conservatory, the Boston Ballet, Harvard University Dance Department and Walnut Hill Performing Arts School, Omayra also taught and operated her own dance academy. Omayra and her company performed a critically acclaimed nine-month run of Omayra y Flamenco at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. In 1999, Omayra Amaya co-founded and was a co-director of The National Conservatory of Flamenco Arts in Albuquerque, NM. She also taught at the University of New Mexico Dance Department. Omayra Amaya Flamenco Dance Company and school is based in New York City. Omayra cherishes her legacy and continues to push the boundaries of flamenco by creating a unique repertoire that reflects her energy, creativity, passion and heritage.
