Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre was founded in 1982 in Minneapolis, Minnesota by Artistic Director Susana di Palma.

One of the few American Spanish dance companies that presents both traditional flamenco programs and original theater flamenco works, the company is comprised of an ensemble of dancers and musicians who are renowned for bringing the power, passion, and virtuosity of flamenco to American audiences.

“It was great to see a flamenco company dancing this well which also had a sense of humor and such a clear idea of theater.” – Doris Deither, The Villager, New York City

“Dramatically different flamenco.” – The Orlando Sentinel

The mission of Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre and School is to enrich our community by drawing people of diverse backgrounds close to the power, passion and virtuosity of the flamenco dance and music tradition, and by expanding on that tradition, to create an innovative art form that explores the issues of contemporary life.
