Carolina Lugo’s choreographic works for her company Brisas de España offers the time honored traditional art forms of the story telling of Spanish dance, which is the “mother” of all dances from Spain, had its beginning in the European royal courts, Flamenco with its high intense energy and passionate earthy Gypsy roots and Regional dances, song and music of Spain. Spanish Dance and Flamenco is different from other genres of dance in that the dancer provides their own accompaniment by creating their own percussive rhythms to which they move to by playing castanets, finger snapping, footwork and palmas {syncopated hand clapping}. Using the music of De Falla, Bizet, Granados,and Chabrier, Ms. Lugo brings together a fusion of these rhythms creating a riveting experience for the audience. The visual effect of the dancer’s long dresses, shawls (mantons) and Spanish fan provides an artistic palate of color as the dancers embrace the audience with the depth and fiery sensuality of dancing.
