Show time
Contributed by Malita Belloso

On January 30, local flamenco group Caló Gitano had its first of two annual student shows at Vino Libro. Students showed their friends and families all of the hard work that they had put into their flamenco classes, and everyone there could feel the great atmosphere and happiness that was being projected during the whole show. The next student show will be in May, and we hope that many more people will join us at Vino Libro then to have a great time with us and everybody there.

Sharing Flamenco

Local flamenco dance students Sage Holland and Gabriela Marinho shared the art of flamenco during Eastvalley Elementary School's International Night in Marietta. Besides watching the young dancers, the audience danced along with the girls. Onlookers learned a few moves and danced to a fun rumba. Sage and Gabriela danced por tangos in the end.

Meet Elsa Hunt, elementary school interpreter and community liaison.
 
Elsa says she is continuously learning flamenco. She started classes four years ago in Atlanta, "and never looked back," says Elsa. During those years of learning, she encountered her most memorable experience in flamenco: being nervous dancing at Fronteras.
 
Elsa enjoys the comradarie of flamenco in Atlanta and the music. "They can start a fiesta in a moment," she says.
 
Her flamenco goal is to gain knowledge of the styles of flamenco. She'd like to be able to get up anywhere and know what to do.
