Celebración Flamenca at On Broadway

La Rosa Spanish Dance Theatre presents Celebración Flamenca

After a highly successful run of Celebración Flamenca at Oude Libertas in December 2010, La Rosa - South Africa’s most established Spanish dance company - will be extending their 20th anniversary celebrations with a season of the same show at On Broadway from 18 to 29 January 2011.

Swirling skirts, castanets and a passionate display of Flamenco dancing, rhythms and sounds are what audiences have come to expect from La Rosa - Celebración Flamenca is no exception.

This dynamic dance production is directed by Carolyn Holden who has consistently presented audiences with innovative, slick and passionate dance productions since 1990 when she founded the organisation. In Celebración Flamenca, Holden has re-staged established repertoire in a new creative context, resulting in a visual feast of contemporary Flamenco.

The production features choreography by Holden and by the Madrid-based choreographers Joaquin Ruiz, La Truco, Domingo Ortega and the late Javier Cruz.  Featuring the cream of La Rosa’s dancers, who are accompanied by a musical ensemble including the highly acclaimed Flamenco guitarist, Bienyameen, Robert Jeffery (of the rock group Flat Stanley) on guitar and cello, Heather Roth on flute, Robert Davids and Nkosinathi Figlan on cajón and accompanied by South Africa’s own cantaora, Loreán Swartz on vocals.
