Before he plays a single note, Maestro Heredia gives a brief history of the origin of each song or dance about to be performed. Dancers then interpret these tales with a blend of light, graceful arm movements, syncopated hand-clapping, powerful, synchronized foot work and individual flare.
In one number, the company performs Farruca, Heredias original composition which celebrates the gypsy character with its fiery rhythm accentuated by the Tacon (heel-stomping) and snapping fingers.
Comprised of Denver’s best dancers and award-winning guitarist, Artistic Director, and “Godfather of Flamenco” Maestro René Heredia, their performances convey the mystery, emotion and soul of authentic gypsy flamenco.
Be prepared for an evening of passion, power, music and dance! Olé!
