April marks the month of Semana Santa, Spain's Holy Week, where vibrant crowds flock to view enormous processions winding through city streets. A dance tradition called the sevillana, a colorful and exciting style of flamenco performed in pairs, emerged from these celebrations. Born on the streets of Sevilla, it was originally a courting ritual.
In honor of Semana Santa, Rhythmix Cultural Works and Caminos Flamencos will hold a sevillanas dance contest as part of April's Café Flamenco. Up to eight couples may participate to win a prize and an opportunity to be featured in the June Café Flamenco performance. The contest will be judged by the audience. The show will also feature top-notch dancers and musicians, including Emmy-winning dancer and choreographer Yaelisa, Music Director Jason McGuire "El Rubio," and special guests. Advance tickets are recommended, as this popular show regularly sells out. All ages are welcome.
