If you're into fiery, passionate dance — not the artificial MTV kind, but the feverish Spanish style known as flamenco — then be sure to catch this ensemble, hands-down one the most masterful presenters of the genre, melding sensuality, bravado, energy and rhythm in moves that veer from supremely subtle to highly explosive. With renowned virtuoso guitarist Peña at the helm, flamenco comes in a steady, smoldering pace that keeps edging toward the big bang — then holding back, then edging some more — until the final fireworks. Anyone else need a cigarette?
