FROM THE FOUNDERS & SPONSORS OF THE FIRST HOUSTON FLAMENCO FESTIVAL - DEL ESPADIN FLAMENCO
& SPANISH DANCE ACADEMY - the SECOND ANNUAL HOUSTON FLAMENCO FESTIVAL! OCTOBER 2011! UPDATES COMING
SOON!
Del
Espadin Flamenco & Spanish Dance Academy, the proud founders & 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, Cuadro invokes the classic spirit of Andalucia, Spain with fiery creativity
and passionate movement.
This
year's series will include three unique performances hosted at 14 Pews in the Heights:
Corazon Gitano - Saturday, March 5th
Al-Andaluz - ***DATE
CHANGE*** - Saturday, April 30th Espana - Nord y Sud - Saturday, May 21st
Location:
14 Pews 800 Aurora Houston, Texas 77009
Refreshments and reception to follow each performance.
Season Ticket Price (includes all 3 performances) -
$37.00 Individual performance ticket price - $15.00
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!

Message from Tempestad:
First & foremost, I would like to thank all who supported
me in my return to the tablao since my car wreck last December. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to
welcome new ones to the Houston Flamenco family. I will forever be grateful to all those who stuck by me through this
very trying & difficult time in my life. Your support, loyalty & encouragement for me to get back on my feet
meant the world to me!
Special thanks to my family...most importantly, Mama Flamenca!, because without Mama
none of this would be possible for not only me, but for so many of us who adore flamenco!...to all of our AMAZING students...it
makes me so proud to see you LIVE flamenco...to Lucia & Val for being our special guests at such a significant event,
& to all our wonderful aficionados & friends!
NOW on to new things!!!
