UTRGV Dance: Ballet Espanol- Spanish Nights
February 1, 2025 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Ballet Español provides students the opportunity to study the art of Spanish dance which encompasses a great range of styles such as bailes folkloricos representing different regions of Spain; flamenco, the art of the gypsies of Spain and its “palos” such as Alegrias, Tangos, Solea, Bulerias, Siguiriyas; and Escuela Bolera, a style of classical dance and music from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries where classical ballet principles of turnout combine typical Spanish arm movements, with castanets, and flamenco footwork and folkloric steps, to create classical Spanish dance works like “La Boda de Luis Alonso”. The Ballet Español presents formal public concerts and school concerts every spring and smaller events on campus and for the community throughout the year.
Join us for a stunning display of Spanish dancing performed by UTRGV Ballet Espanol as well as live singing and music by Chayito Champion, vocalist and Steve Arispe on guitar!
Parking is complimentary after 5pm.
