Fuerza Flamenca: Authentic Flamenco in Miami

Ballet Flamenco La Rosa Turns on the Heat this Summer with Two Evenings of Traditional Flamenco

Led by the world-renowned master teacher, choreographer, soloist and Artistic Director Ilisa Rosal, BFLR presents the spellbinding and earthy power of authentic Flamenco dance at its best. With its spectacular footwork, precise athleticism and vibrant energy, the performances are at once sensual and spiritual, raw and refined, and filled with both restrained passion and electrifying release – making it a powerful and passionate language of expression. These productions will incorporate live music, created and arranged by a guitarist and singer, brought directly from Spain to collaborate with the company dancers and choreographers.

Born in Medieval Andalucía (southern Spain), in the Middle Ages, when Europeans, Arabs, Jews, Gypsies, and Africans co-existed in a Golden Age of art and learning, this art form has fascinated writers, poets, composers, painters, sculptors, choreographers, and audiences for centuries. It has developed into one of the most respected and cherished music and dance forms, evolving into the highest level of technique and artistic expression that has led to it being declared a World Heritage Treasure by UNESCO.

“Both evenings will connect with the soul of pure Flamenco music and dance. Audiences can expect a breathtaking theater experience full of its earthy power, spellbinding movement, subtle nuances, and explosive energy,” remarks Rosal. “The summer performances also mark a milestone in BFLR’s history as I’m returning to teach our classes after a pause to focus on my health. I can now put myself fully into it, mind, body and soul, and continue our legacy in offering the community diverse artistic experiences under one roof.”

After a two-year hiatus, Rosal will return to teach at the Ballet Flamenco La Rosa Performing Arts School, in collaboration with PAN, Performing Arts Network. The program features dance, music and theater classes in a nurturing environment for students of all ages and levels. The program will offer high quality training with small class sizes that allow students to have individual attention from professional artists that are among the best in their fields. It creates a fertile environment for future artists and audiences to grow.

Classes offered include Ballet, Cardio, Stretch and Barre, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Flamenco, Afro Haitian Dance, Belly Dance, Acting, Piano, Guitar, Vocals, Yoga, Music Writing and Creative Writing.
