Expo Latino takes festival-goers on the pursuit for passion

Carmen Galvez doesn’t only book flamenco dancers, she is a flamenco dancer.
The artistic director of Expo Latino, back this week for its 16th year, is on the phone, explaining the appeal of a regional Spanish dance that connects to people everywhere.
“It’s the passion,” Galvez says.
She may be talking specifically about flamenco, but is there any doubt those three little words could just as easily serve as the tag line for the entire Expo Latino?
Whether it’s flamenco, Argentine tango, salsa or malambo, there is a stunning amount of Latin dance on display. Whether it’s a return visit by Saturday night’s headlining outfit, Grupo Mania — which set off a flurry of requests for return visits from Expo Latino patrons who watched them blaze through their appearance at the 2011 festival — or else an appearance by Chilean heartthrob Americano, the operative word throughout is passion.
