Flamenco World Jazz with Melón Jimenez, Lara Wong, & George Crotty

Award-winning flutist and bansuri player Lara Wong and flamenco guitarist Melón Jiménez make flamenco their universal musical language to traverse musical territories. Their music ebbs and flows with elegance and emotive power, as they fuse the soul of flamenco with the inventive spirit of jazz, and the rhythmic improvisations of Indian music.

In this special collaborative concert, they will be joined by New-York based jazz cellist, George Crotty. In a constant dialogue between cultures, these three extraordinary artists brings tradition and modernity together through dynamic compositions and vivid improvisation. Dazzling flamenco guitar passages, mystical bansuri melodies and exploratory cello improvisations, come together in this unforgettable performance.

This 5-week block of West Coast Swing classes will be on Wednesdays at 8-9pm followed by a 1-hour social dance. This class is suitable for beginners and brand new dancers! ALL ARE WELCOME!
