Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre presents Noches de Verano

This summer café performance, Noches de Verano, features three generations of dancers from across the country. Internationally recognized as some of flamenco’s best, Zorongo’s Susana di Palma, New York City-based Nelida Tirado, and Caminos Flamenco’s Yaelisa from San Francisco, promise to thrill audiences with their vibrant artistry and grace.

As an art form, Flamenco uniquely interprets womanhood. Through music and dance it comments on the nuances of women’s expressions as they mature. Flamenco celebrates both the mythic symbolism and the reality of womankind. Zorongo Flamenco and The Ritz Theater invite you to witness a profound, soul-pounding commentary on feminine power performed by women from Minneapolis, San Francisco, and New York City. The thrilling combination of Susana di Palma’s experienced wisdom and sensuality, Yaelisa’s ripe virtuosity, and Nelida Tirado’s youthful, magnetic energy promise to carry audiences to an imaginary plane seldom experienced outside flamenco’s Andalusian birthplace.  Flamenco master guitarist Pedro Cortes and emotional, authentic cantaor singer Oscar Valero will enhance the trio of dancers.

General admission, $28.  Tickets for sale by phone, at the door, or you can purchase online here.

Plus, Saturday will feature a sizzling salsa party after the show!  Celebrate and help raise money for Zorongo’s fall production, Zorro!  Enjoy a variety of tapas and a cash bar, dance the night away to the music of Tropical Zone Orchestra, and purchase photographs of beautiful Spain, taken by Martin Zanger.

Combination tickets for the performance and party are $45.
