Sun Jan 19 - Flamenco Bravo
Juan Talavera, the critically acclaimed and noted flamenco dancer, choreographer, instructor, company director, actor, and one of the original owners of El Cid, will be joined by dancers Daniel Andres, Claudia de la Cruz, Emilio Dominguez, Rosal Ortega; singer Antonio de Jerez; guitarist Andres Vadin; percussionist Gerardo Morales; and special guest artist Oscar Valero, internationally known flamenco dancer and choreographer direct from Spain.

Sun Jan 26 – Noche En Triana
Noche en Triana features Antonio Triana and special guests. The cuadro flamenco forms on stage against a backdrop of drumming handclaps, a voice moans the cante jondo, that pure essence of Andalusian song. Dancers strike the tablao with thundering footwork. Tension mounts as the performers unleash their fiery improvisations to the compelling rhythms of the guitar. This is the native art of Triana, where flamenco has a long tradition, where rhythm is life.
