Tablao flamenco is an evening of flamenco dance and Spanish wine. The October show features an amazing, Seville-native signer Alfonso Cid who joins us from New York for one weekend! Experience the culture of flamenco without leaving your seat! Get amazed by a flamenco show without having to go to Spain. 

Presenting the most traditional flamenco made up of three parts: guitar playing, song, and dance.

Dance – Ania “La Candela”

Song – Alfonso Cid

Guitar – El Doble T

The show takes place in a small black box theater. The Mask Center has very limited seating and offers the opportunity to see flamenco in an intimate atmosphere, without amplification, the way flamenco is supposed to be admired. Flamenco originated in the southern regions of Spain, but it’s thought to be influenced by many world cultures, including Latin American, Cuban, and Arab traditions.

An event not to be missed! Experience the magic of flamenco!

Campo Viejo Rioja wine is included in the ticket price.

jumantu m. poe presents “Taking Up Spaces” and will talk about the construction of the Let ‘im Move You Project, a collaborative choreographic exploration of the role of J’Sette in Black aesthetics
