Flamenco Dance, with ABREPASO
5 – 5:45pm, Room 109
ABREPASO Flamenco director and founder Alice Blumenfeld fell in love with flamenco at age 12, and since then it has been the driving force in her life.
Flamenco music and dance can unite people across all walks of life, she believes. Through flamenco, individuals are given the chance to express their stories with this emboldening music and dance form.
ABREPASO values a creative environment which fosters collaboration to make original, meaningful work. By questioning our own relationship to the world and ourselves, we develop a process that pushes the boundaries of flamenco,
ABREPASO has a number of ongoing community programs, including flamenco dance for the inmates at the Northeast Reintegration Center, flamenco dance classes for kids and adults at the Julia de Burgos Cultural Arts Center, and educational performances and lectures throughout Northeast Ohio.
