Charmed by Flamenco and Raqs Sharqi, Valerie Romanin was spontaneously encouraged to integrate both, creating a new and original form of dance. She chose to baptize it Flamenco Descalzo® -Barefoot Flamenco in English. Flamenco Descalzo® is synonymous with fusion and synthesis. It returns to the flamenco's roots and puts a strong emphasis on Moorish and Gypsy influences.
