Flamenco Dance Street Performance in GOZO

Alegria Dance Company in conjunction with Lazuli, a new designer clothing and accessories boutique just opened in Gozo, will be entertaining the public of St.Georges Square, Rabat, Gozo on Saturday 26th April from 10am. Lazuli will be welcoming their customers to a special launch during that morning offering ‘one day only’ special offers and a Spanish-themed party.
Lazuli, whose sister shop, Organika has been established for a while on the square is providing a fresh and colourful look for the Summer and offers a regularly changing range of stylish, colourful, high quality, exclusive and ethically traded clothing and accessories in limited quantities and Spanish hand-made shoes and espadrilles.

Notte Bianca and Strait Street, Valletta will this year be vibrant with an Andalucian twist as Alegria Dance Company will take the audiences through the passion of what Pure Flamenco is all about.

Apart from offering a spectacular Flamenco performance, this event being held on Saturday 29th September, will provide an added flavour and all those passing through Strait Street will have the opportunity of participating in ‘on the spot’ classes.  The audience will be able to learn how to play the castanets (being provided at the venue), stamp your feet and get the feel of flamenco by joining in the dancing with senior members of the Academy.  Throughout the evening, the Company will be performing to various beats and moods with the use of abanicos (fans), castañulas (castanets), mantones (shawls) and bata de cola (tail skirt).

So make it a date and see you all at Notte Bianca…… Olè !!!!!  PERFORMANCES TO BE HELD AT 6.00PM AND 10.00PM
