Compas

A dance delightfully filled with the singular energy and dynamic of the “compas” (groove) for Flamenco: Tango, Siguiriya, Farruca, Rumba and Bulerias. Maria Zemantauski’s stunning musical composition is fused with an array of jazz and funk that takes the dancers and audience on a most enticing ride.

“Turns, kicks, slides, circling hips, staccato rhythm and lots of attitude gave the piece heat and punch; the fluid sections were particularly striking. ~ Times Union
