What will we do?
Dive into the world of Flamenco, a dynamic Spanish art form with Rebeca Tomas!
Explore its lively dance, music, + stories, feel the rhythm interactively, and have fun learning flamenco moves for all skill levels!
“A Palo Seco” is a phrase that refers to a bare-bones style of flamenco music, often consisting of singing or percussion alone. This stripped-down aesthetic has become a central theme in artistic director Rebeca Tomas’ choreography, characterizing her biggest departures from tradition, while also rooting her work in the emotional rawness that lies at the heart of the art of Flamenco.
