Event: A COMPÀS!
PACO PEÑA DANCE COMPANY
Description: A Compás!, blends a range of flamenco rhythms, from the almost tribal, trance-inducing quality of the alboreá to the razor-sharp complexity of the bulería. This newest presentation creates an unstoppable pulse that can not only be seen but felt, spotlighting the dancer in that magical moment where music meets the soul. The dancer is at one with the music, and the result is mesmerizing and electrifying as everyone gets "into the rhythm," or "a compás!" Featuring Flamenco guitarist Paco Peña and his company of singers, dancers, and guitarists. (Town Hall Website)
Flamenco is a great interest of mine. Many years ago, I took a trip through Spain and our tour went to several Flamenco shows. I was just a teen but was moved by the dancers passion. One evening, our tour saw a show and one of the dancers (a tall, dark and handsome dancer asked me to be part of his dance.)
He danced around me in a circle with a rose in between his teeth. It was probably done to a different girl each night but it is a night I will never forget.
