DANCE

Del Espadin Flamenco & Spanish Dance Academy, the proud sponsors of the Houston Flamenco Festival, are pleased to announce the Cuadro La Tempestad Spring Concert Series!

In contrast to today's highly choreographed and much rehearsed flamenco, Cuadro La Tempestad treats audiences to the experience of creativity in the moment. This dynamic group of flamenco artists have traveled to Spain to study with the legends of flamenco and strive to convey all the spontaneity and intensity of a genuine gypsy "juerga".

Watch this traditional form of flamenco explode through live guitar and dance company performance as seen at Houston Press' Artopia and on Great Day Houston with Debra Duncan. Led by acclaimed flamenco dancer, Tempestad, (pictured) Cuadro invokes the classic spirit of Andalucia, Spain with fiery creativity and passionate movement.

Cuadro La Tempestad presents the age-old traditions of flamenco with unparalleled authenticity. With fiery and explosive dancing, no-frills "jondo" singing and passionate guitar playing, the Cuadro allows audiences to experience the dark and unique essence of true "duende".

"La Tempestad, meaning the storm, has been tearing up the flamenco floor night after night..." culturemap.com
