Pounding Spanish rhythms and luxuriant hand and footwork transport students to the streets of España, where Noche Flamenca
has perfected one of the world's most complex and mysterious art forms. A fiery blend of music, song, and dance born of
ancestral cultural repression, flamenco developed out of the pain of the Gypsies, who suffered racial persecution and expulsion
from their homeland along with Muslims and Jews during the Spanish Inquisition. (In fact, the root of the word "flamenco"
means "expelled peasant.") Experience the power of that emotion channeled into explosive music and dance by the world's best!
Links to Latin and world cultures, Spanish language, prejudice, and world music and dance.
