Valentine's a la Flamenca
St. Louis, MO—To celebrate Valentine’s Day, the St. Louis Cultural Flamenco Society sponsors a fiery live performance of music and dance each February. This year’s “Valentine’s a la Flamenca” shows are at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10, at The Sheldon Ballroom in Grand Center.
In addition to the Society’s own company dancers, the performances feature an international cast of guest dancers: Melissa Cruz, David Bustos, Carolina Barrera, and Jose Junco. The dances are choreographed by Artistic Director Marisel Salascruz. Guitarist and singer Juan Pedro Jiménez Relinque will provide the musical accompaniment.
The combination of local and guest artists allows the Society to offer a diversity of styles that showcase the tremendous emotional range that flamenco can conjure.
“Audiences love ‘Valentine’s a la Flamenca’—it sells out every year,” said Salascruz. “We’re excited that returning visitors will see some of their favorite guest artists on stage again thanks to the generous support of the Missouri Arts Council and the Regional Arts Commission. And those who haven’t seen live flamenco before will be amazed at the energy and passion of these performers.”
This show concludes the Society’s 40th anniversary season, which was generously supported by the Missouri Arts Council (MAC) and Regional Arts Commission (RAC). The season included performances at several festivals and events as well as “Dreams of Lost Memories,” a production that paid tribute to those who have faced and succumbed to Alzheimer’s disease.
