Dates: Flamenco: August 8, 15, and 22
Flamenco is a Spanish art form made up of three parts: guitar playing (“guitarra”), song (“cante”), and dance (“baile”). Flamenco originated in the southern regions of Spain, but it’s thought to be influenced by many world cultures, including Latin American, Cuban, and Jewish traditions. This workshop series will focus on arm/hand gestures and fun stomping footwork combination. Enter the world of flamenco filled with passion, precision, and energy. Female students should wear a leotard or fitted top, skirt/fitted pants/exercise pants, and covered-toe shoes with a thick heel (preferred: character dance shoe or flamenco shoe). Male students should dress in comfortable clothing and wear short, flexible boots or hard-soled shoes.
SPRING TO DANCE® returns for its 11th year! As one of the region’s must-see festivals, SPRING TO DANCE brings together more than 25 professional dance companies from across the country and beyond for two unique, exhilarating nights of nonstop dance over Memorial Day weekend.
