Led by master Flamenco dancer Kasandra “La China”, Encuentros presents Flamenco and dance artistry at the highest calibre with a combustible chemistry and musical energy that flows like water and skips like fire.
In a stunning display of romance, seduction, love and jealousy, Artistic Director Kasandra “La China” and International guest artists, Ricardo Lopez (Flamenco dancer, Madrid), Joel Hanna (Irish Tap Dancer, Vancouver/New York), and Egyptian Belly Dancer Ashley Kirkham, throw down the gauntlet and meet on the dance floor! With powerhouse Flamenco singer, Vicente Griego, and live musicians playing Flamenco guitar and Cajon, Oud and Darbuka, the dance is showcased with profound musicality. The beauty of lyrical dance and the power of percussion result in a dazzling presentation, full of drama, intensity and bravado. Encuentros is at once a feast for the eyes, the ears and the soul!
“Encuentros is a rich exploration of human interaction and expression,” explains Kasandra “La China”. “As dancers encounter each other, each reveals a personal journey of joy and sorrow, jealousy and rage, loneliness and, hope."
