Juan Paredes Flamenco Workshop Santa Cruz, CA May 2019
Written by Marianna Mejia
¿Soniqué? 2019 SANTA CRUZ, CA
We’re returning to Santa Cruz this year for a weekend-long series of events in which students are immersed in the lighter side of flamenco: this fiesta! Direct from Seville, Juan Paredes teams up with the Bay Area’s La Tania, for a weekend retreat, flamenco-style.
Join us to take dance classes covering bulerías festeras and sevillanas, and then stay to cook with us. You’ll get the recipe and prepare paella, tortilla española, and the delicious asparagus Lola with Seville’s popular maestro, who is sharing rhythm and much more during this 5th-annual tour of the U.S.A.
The ¿Soniqué? 2019 U.S.A. Tour stops in Santa Cruz, CA, on May 25-26, with a weekend full of activities.
