Finally, introducing a new class! Classical Spanish Dance, taught by Liliana Ruiz Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30pm Cost: $10 per class
About the class: Spanish dance can be defined as a complicated dance movement that originates from the native country of Spain. Classical Spanish dance includes sophisticated choreography on classical music performed or played by renowned Spanish composers such as Albeniz, Manuel de Falla, Granados, and Taurina among others. Spanish dance shoes or ballet shoes are used to maintain its distinctiveness as well as the practice of the castanets, manton or fan movements while dancing with the music.
About the instructor: Liliana Ruiz was born in Mexico City where she started to study ballet when she was six years old. Shortly thereafter, she began her study of Classical Spanish and flamenco dance. Liliana has many notable dancing credits which include performances in the play Carmen with the opera singer Placido Domingo at the National Auditorium in Mexico City, and in the USA with two-time Grammy Award-winning pianist Peter Nero and the Philly POP'S at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia.
