Flamenco Dance Comes to TCCC

Spanish culture comes to Western North Carolina in a whirl of color when the Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana Spanish Dance Company performs at Tri-County Community College on Friday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. This is the first time that our area has been exposed to the drama and emotion of flamenco. This emotion will be brought to life on stage by professional dancers, a singer, and a guitarist.

Flamenco is an inherently multicultural art form. It arose in Andalucía, the southern region of Spain, evolving from the

interaction of many cultures--including the Moorish, Jewish, Spanish, and especially the Gypsy--that inhabited this area for centuries. Flamenco is one of the most popular Spanish art forms because of the great intensity of its music and its energetic dance, that reveal a vision of life full of pride, passion, honor, love, sorrow, and death.
