Come out this weekend and support VelocityDC headliner Edwin Aparicio and the Flamenco Aparicio Dance Company for Flamenco Deconstructed at GALA Hispanic Theatre’s Fuego Flamenco Festival V!
Washington DC-based flamenco performer, teacher, and choreographer Edwin Aparicio has been described by critics as “the most amazing dancer seen in years,” “a technical powerhouse dancing with blistering conviction,” having “hellfire footwork” and choreographies with “beautiful, evocative imagery.”
Featured in Dance Magazine’s annual “25 to Watch” list, Aparicio has garnered critical acclaim for his highly polished technique which combines innovative choreography with contemporary themes.
In Flamenco Deconstructed, he will be joined by the Flamenco Aparicio Dance Company as well as guest artists Omayra Amaya (grandniece of the legendary Carmen Amaya), dancer Defne Enç from Spain, singers Isabel Soto from Spain and Jesús Montoya from Long Beach, California, and guitarists Roberto Castellano from New York and Richard Marlow from Washington, DC.
If Aparicio’s standing ovation performance during the inaugural 2009 VelocityDC Dance Festival was any indication, Flamenco Deconstructed should not be missed. Although Saturday’s show is sold out, limited tickets are available for Sunday’s performance.
Time: Saturday, December 5th at 8pm & Sunday, December 6th at 3pm
Location: GALA Theatre – 3333 14th Street NW, Washington, DC
Cost: $30.00 general; $18.00 students; $50.00 festival package. Tickets available by phone at 202.234. 7174/800.494.8497 and online at galatheatre.org
