CAROLA ZERTUCHE Presents JUEVES FLAMENCOS

FLAMENCO THURSDAYS

Dinner and cuadro flamenco shows
8pm and 9:30pm
Every THURSDAY. $10 cover.
Stay after the shows for Sevillanas dancing and informal Flamenco open mike!

Billed by SF Weekly as the "Best Flamenco Show"

"The magic (yes, magic) begins with the venue: Peña Pachamama, a Latin-American restaurant with small tables doused in low red-tinted lighting like a quaint Bolivian valentine. Order dinner and sangria early, because when the musicians step onto the tiny stage and the dancers take to the wood floor at 8:30, you'll be entranced for the next two hours. The weekly show, which has a $10 cover charge, is led by Carola Zertuche, an ever-intense and inspired dancer who toured Spain and Mexico before settling in San Francisco and taking up the artistic directing reins of Theater Flamenco, which bills itself as the city's second oldest dance company after the ballet. The dancers' feet beat out the improvised rhythmic accompaniment to the live music a hand's reach from the diners — the Andalusian way — creating an intimacy you can't replicate from a theater seat."

FLAMENCO SUNDAY

Hosted by the host of the month

First Sunday of the month
Come Join Us!

Flamenco Sunday is an opportunity:

To be in Community -- to dance together outside of the classroom or show performance, Flamenco Sunday is a way to create community with other flamenco lovers.
To Practice -- Flamenco Sunday provides a fun and supportive environment to practice what we are learning in our classes or to try out new repertoire.
To Let Go -- of our fear of dancing, singing, and playing flamenco in front of others; to loosen up outside of the classroom situation
To Enjoy -- an informal fiesta with fellow Bay Area flamencos through sharing food, drink, and flamenco!

We come together the first Sunday afternoon of every month at different people’s homes throughout the Bay Area to play, sing and dance bulerias, tangos, sevillanas… Flamenco lovers of ALL levels and stages are welcome to join. Dancers, guitarist, singers, aficionados! Bring a dish to share. For more information on specific dates and locations or if you would like to host, email Ulla at: ulla-britt@att.net
