“incredible and infectious…left the audience buzzing” - Bridget Cauthry, The dance current

Passionate and driven, the Esmeralda Enrique Spanish Dance Company continues to enthrall audiences with its commitment to imaginative choreography and artistic excellence.

The Esmeralda Enrique Spanish Dance Company was founded in 1982 under the artistic direction of Esmeralda Enrique and has been hailed as one of Canada’s most innovative dance companies. With a history rooted in flamenco puro and a strong grasp of classical Spanish dance, the company has continued to meet the challenges imposed by time and change. Fusing contemporary music, non-traditional instrumentation and modern dance forms with the essentials of true flamenco, their work is exciting and unconventional. The company has been producing and presenting full evening concerts since 1990, with an ever-expanding repertoire that has earned both critical and popular acclaim. With unique, talented dancers possessing the force and vitality to match a more modern approach, the Esmeralda Enrique Spanish Dance Company projects a vision that is intense and current.

“The virtuostic display is wild and dizzying…like a spontaneous show of unbridled energy in the back rooms of a late night café.” - Deirdre Kelly, The Globe and Mail

“Flamenco has shaped my life’s history. It is my great passion. It excites my mind, it enraptures my soul and comforts my spirit.” - Esmeralda Enrique
