Pasión Flamenca

Saturday, April 29th at 7pm

Hear for yourself the iconic Flamenco rhythms of fanciful footwork and heart pounding Palmas (clapping). Fluid guitar rifts and cante singing are sure to expand your musical senses.

This exciting event features several special guests. Veronica Maguire (dance and cante) is the artistic director of Victoria’s Alma de España. She is a prize recipient from Canada Council for her lifetime contribution to dance. For the past 50 years, she is a tireless dancer/choreographer/singer and artistic director undertaking new projects keeping Flamenco in the forefront. Accomplished guitarist Gareth Owen lives and breathes Flamenco. Growing up with the traditions of Flamenco guitar in his family, he passionately creates a personal style and performs professionally alongside the Alma de España Flamenco Dance Company.

Gracing the stage are soloists Kasandra “La China” and Denise Yeo.

She founded Al Mozaico Flamenco Dance Academy with her mentor, Oscar Nieto. She is the artistic director of Kasandra Flamenco, producing many high calibre shows with international guest artists. Denise Yeo is a professional Flamenco dance soloist and palmera with Alma de España. She is a gift to the stage in both dance and accompanying dancers with her percussive palmas technique.
