Noche Flamenca
Featuring Soledad Barrio
New Year's Weekend

Show Description

"Soledad Barrio, the company's lead dancer...seemed possessed by smoldering, do-or-die flamenco passion...An entire evening of her dancing would probably fill the city's coronary wards. Martin Santangelo, the company's founder and director, achieves a remarkable balance between the new and the old in his savvy staging program."
- Gia Kourlas, The New York Times
