Antonio Triana was a dancer of mature artistry, dignity and power. His physical and technical dominion went far beyond what is known about Spanish Dance. His dance presented the summary of a national character, and in his choreography, he used his traditional background for his brilliant inspirations. He partnered the legendary La Argentinita, Pilar Lopez and Carmen Amaya with spirit and gallantry. Over the years, he developed a very distinct method of teaching. Triana was the foremost Spanish-Flamenco dancer and teacher of his time.
