As one of the Bay Area’s stalwart Flamenco dancers, Melissa Cruz carved out a niche in the traditional Spanish art form — becoming one of the most prolific practitioners in the East Bay where she makes her home.

“It’s very rare that people look at me and they identify me as Filipina,” she said. “It reminded me of my identity as being Filipina and how I feel doing this art form that is not mine really.”
