The Spanish Club Organizes a Flamenco Night


On April 26th, Olé Music & Dance of Spain presented a show of flamenco at the Kemper Auditorium. Its director, Tamara Carson La Garbancito, is a UMKC graduate who trained in Spain on flamenco, the iconic dance and music from the South of Spain. She came to MWSU with a guitar player, a percussionist, and eight dancers, from the US, Mexico, Cuba and Spain.

The audience had the opportunity of learning a little about the complex world of flamenco and even of practicing the basic steps, since, after the show, Tamara and some of the performers offered a lesson on basic flamenco. This was the last event of the year for the Spanish Club.
