Javier Heredia & Ethan Margolis of Arte y Pureza (Sevilla, Spain) returned to Houston this October for another peformance & workshop at Del Espadin Flamenco & Spanish Dance Academy.

 
As always, their performance was outstanding & their workshop was highly informative, giving the students of DEF&SDA true insight of Flamenco Puro.

Houston's Consular Ball this year honored Spain & as part of the entertainment line-up for the evening's festivities, Cuadro La Tempestad was invited to perform Flamenco.  Other entertainment included La Tuna (direct from Spain, pictured above) & Houston Ballet.

On November 8, 2009, Tempestad/Soraya taught a workshop focusing on the Zambra for both flamenco & belly dancers.  We had a great turn-out! Thanks to all the participants & SPECIAL THANKS to Guillermo Serpas, our guitarrista, for accompanying the workshop!  Workshop will be repeated in the Spring of 2010.  Stay tuned for updates.

On December 13, 2009, Del Espadin Flamenco & Soraya's School of Belly Dance will host its second annual holiday party - the Gypsy Revels!  Please come dressed as your favorite gypsy - by country - Turkish, Romani, Spanish, Indian - or by person - Carmen Amaya!

Carrying on a generations-old family tradition, Maria Del Espadín and her daughter, Tempestad, bring decades of teaching & performing experience to their students.

Regardless of the constant commercialization and modernization of Flamenco, Mama Flamenca and La Hija Flamenca (as affectionately called by their many students) strive to preserve the authenticity of Flamenco and to present Flamenco to the public as the gypsies of Andalucia intended Flamenco to be. To learn true Flamenco...not only as the music & dance that it is, but also as a way of life...this Flamenco family invites you to come observe a class or try one out at no expense upon registering with the Academy. We invite you to experience first-hand what it is that sets Del Espadín Flamenco & Spanish Dance Academy apart from all others!

All new registrants can try out their first Flamenco class for free.  Please visit www.flamencohouston.com & print the coupon from the home page to present at time the class is taken. Coupon applies to only first Flamenco or Belly Dance class.  All other classes and/or workshops are excluded from this promotion.
