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.
