MUSIC AND DANCE / Luna Cale Flamenco
Luna Cale is a dance company that creates challenging, provocative, innovative and original works of flamenco with the dual goals of preserving and strengthening the tradition and empowering women on stage as well as in life. Our work is deeply steeped in rigorous study of the Old World culture of flamenco baile (dance), cante (deep song), and toque (guitar), while simultaneously including New World jazz dance, ballet, and Latinoamerican rythms.
Goergan Garden
Luna cale es una compañía profesional de baile creada con el objetivo de no sólo transmitir y propagar el Flamenco como arte y lenguaje universal a traves de su baile, cante y música, sino también el de fortalecer y celebrar el rol de la mujer en el escenario y en la vida misma.
Nosotras creemos que ese espíritu universal del Flamenco, por su carácter multicultural, tiene el poder de construir puentes entre culturas e inspirar a públicos de cualquier origen. Su Directora Artística, Alessandra Torres, conduce esta compañía de enérgicas y talentosas bailaoras y músicos en producciones de alto contenido artístico y expresivo.
