THANK YOU

Thank you to South Arts

It was an idea that brewed when a flamenco-African-tap mash-up was in the sights for the Cara Mia festival in Dallas: a new choreography based on the crossings of tap and flamenco. Thanks to a grant from South Arts, this new work came to life as an endeavor of practice as research (that means dancing to answer a question, in order to reach some new findings of knowledge) and as a contemporary flamenco work, breaking the boundaries of ‘traditional expectations’ of the art form. Enjoy this video recap of a months-long process to bring history into contemporary dance, and then that fusion into a project with nationally and internationally-renowned artists, and then the new work back to Atlanta to begin touring.


Thank you to Madrid Spanish Taverna

Berdolé has been curating flamenco performances at Madrid Spanish Taverna since 2021, and we have enjoyed seeing familiar faces and meeting new friends through the art of flamenco. Thank you to Madrid for presenting our music and dance, and thank you to our fans who visited Madrid – and us – when we were performing. Our 2024 season is closed, and we look forward to seeing you back on the patio when the weather warms back up in 2025!


West Georgia Hispanic Heritage Festival

We celebrated Hispanic culture this Saturday, Sept. 7, at The Mill Amphitheater in Villa Rica at the West Georgia Hispanic Heritage Festival, presented by the Villa Rica Public Library. Flamenco dancers closed the festival with a family-friendly performance in which the audience danced along to a little rumba flamenco.

DULUTH

Thanks to the City of Duluth for presenting flamenco during the 2024 Multicultural Night and Lantern Parade on Aug. 24, 2024. It was an honor to open the evening of performances showcasing international dance and music. And, thanks to the dancers who came down front to twirl and stomp flamenco style!

ZOO ATLANTA

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a family-friendly flamenco performance during Wild World Weekend at Zoo Atlanta on Sunday, July 28.

We enjoyed sharing some of our favorite props – castanets and the giant mantón de Manila. Our youngest flamencas took the stage for a pataita por tangos before the audience joined in to celebrate with rumba. Thanks to Zoo Atlanta for presenting flamenco during this special weekend!
