Andanza Spanish Arts Founder, Choreographer and Dancer, Danica Sena together with choreographers/dancers direct from Spain, Mapi Blasco and Lourdes Sanchez de la Rua, guitarist Alfredo Caceres, vocalist Azriel “El Moreno” and a cast of 15 performers.
Following its sold out performances at Theater Artaud/ODC in 2008, Andanza Spanish Arts returns to the stage with another original program celebrating the eclectic musical and dance forms of Spain. Artistic Director Danica Sena together with special guest performers direct from Spain, Mapi Blasco and Lourdes Sanchez de la Rua, present a choreographic collaboration that stems from an investigative journey of Spanish art and culture, aptly named “Pergoleto” (Journey).
A cast of 20 dancers and musicians perform traditional forms from Galicia, Murcia, Castellon, Classical/Contemporary and Flamenco styles featuring original composition and guitar by Alfredo Caceres and vocals by Azriel “El Moreno”.
Danica Sena, Artistic Director of Andanza Spanish Arts explains the inspiration behind “Pergoleto”: “During a recent return visit to Spain, I was re-inspired by the sharing of cultures and traditions, old and contemporary and wanted to create a piece that could take American audiences on a virtual journey, pilgrimage through Spain, across the continents. I want to share with them a real sense of Spain’s music, traditions and culture, but above all, its sense of community.”
“Pergoleto” pairs authentic costumes with each eclectic musical piece and for the first time, Andanza Spanish Arts introduces Galician music into its program, which is rarely associated with Spain due to its strong Celtic influence.
Andanza Spanish Arts is a company of professional singers, dancers and musicians dedicated to promoting and presenting the elegant, colorful and widely varied repertoire of Spain, and is the only one of its kind in California. Since 2000, Founder Danica Sena has produced over a dozen original and authentic programs for organizations including San Francisco Opera, CounterPulse, Union Española de California, Macy's, Dominican University of California and ODC/Rhythm and Motion.

Caminos Flamencos presents its 2009 Season performances with the world premiere of "CANCIONES 2," a new work by Emmy Award-winning artistic director Yaelisa.
Inspiring, moving, and theatrical with moments of drama or even comedy, this new production is a unique and exciting alternative for the holiday season, with performances inspired by the music of some of the world's most famous songwriters including Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Iron and Wine, Dave Brubeck and the Beatles along with the deeply traditional flamenco styles of Alegrias, Siguriiyas and more. A tribute to Gypsy genius Diego Carrasco features a stunning new choreography, as Artistic Director Yaelisa once again challenges audiences to view this mysterious art form in a new light. Who would think to combine a traditional "Malaguena" with Rosemary Clooney? Featuring a cast of 16 dancers and musicians, including the extraordinary guitarist and musical director Jason McGuire “El Rubio,” young guitar prodigy Roberto Granados, an 11-year old who recently performed for President Obama, direct from Spain, singer from Cordoba Paco Borrego and Gypsy singer from Sevilla Jesus Montoya, and principal dancers Melissa Cruz, Fanny Ara, Christina Hall and Marina Elana. “CANCIONES 2” provides audiences with an entertaining and rich experience of dance, theatre and flamenco choreographed by Yaelisa and the dancers of Caminos Flamencos.
