Fiesta de Verano

The dancers of the School of Ritmo Flamenco present a concert that runs the gamut from pure traditional flamenco to contemporary and classical styles featuring choreography by critically acclaimed Artistic Director Valerie Scannura and award-winning choreographer Anjelica Scannura.

Renowned composer and flamenco guitarist Roger Scannura will accompany the dancers in many of the traditional forms such as the Caracoles, the Siguiriyas and the Solea por Bulerias.

New works this year are the mesmerizing dance “Danza del Fuego” by composer Manuel de Falla and the famous Paso Doble “El Gato Montes” straight from “la corrida” (the bullring).

Valued for its important pioneering contribution to the development of flamenco in Canada and gorgeous, ferocious, passionate dancing Ritmo Flamenco peerlessly stands on the pillars of traditional flamenco dance and music while beautifully balancing classicism with a contemporary aesthetic.
