Who needs to dance with stars? How about stars of dance, period? Spaniard Manuela Carrasco and her company will perform their world-renown flamenco on Tuesday at 8pm, at Zellerbach Hall.
As part of the 2010 Festival of Flamenco Arts & Traditions, Carrasco will show how it's really done. Like a flock of doves above her head, the delicate hands of Manuela Carrasco are enough to make audiences catch their breath and fall silent.
Yet this international star, known in her native Spain as the Queen of Gypsy Flamenco Dance, remains strikingly down to earth, honoring the grassroots that sparked her art and maintaining traditions rarely seen on American stages.
Known for her great strength, unprecedented energy, and mesmerizing stage presence, the highly acclaimed dance icon has not appeared in the Bay Area since the late 1980s. Now she's here with 10 other dancers!
Tickets aren't super-cheap, running from $30-100 each. We suggest you buy tickets online and pick them up at the "will call" line. Or just wing it, and you might be able to get a seat...no guarantees.
