Valentine’s Day Weekend
We have three exciting performances and a flamenco workshop to check out on Valentine’s Day Weekend. On Valentine’s Day we will be performing AMOR: Spanish Love Songs, a special set of romantic renditions of songs from Latin America and Spain (we may even throw in one or two Italian and English songs!). Beginning at 8pm on Valentine’s Day (Fri. 1/14) this performance will be held at Tierra Coffee Roasters Cafe on Madison Ave. Albany (next to the Madison Theater), and will be FREE with organic wine, beer and desserts for purchase.
Then on Saturday and Sunday we will be working with two amazing flamenco dancers at The Flurry Festival of Music and Dance in Saratoga Springs, NY. If you have never been to this festival before you are in for a special treat. The festival features dance and musical performances and workshops from all over the world, with thousands of people in attendance, and inclusive of the whole family. On Saturday (1/15) we will be doing a flamenco piece with dancer Candace Burnham (who is currently teaching weekly flamenco dance at Lorraine Michaels Studio in Albany) as a part of a cabaret of performances at Saratoga Music Hall from 6-7:30pm. On Sunday (1/16) from 1:15-2 we will do a full flamenco performance at The Parting Glass Pub, and will feature dancers Nina Kunimoto and Candace Burnham. And shortly after in the City Center Room at the Saratoga Springs City Center from 3:15-4:14 we will offer a flamenco dance workshop taught by Candace Burnham, with live accompaniment by Asili & Vaccaro.
