Absolutely fantastic. It began with a brief but informative history of flamenco and the gypsies in Spain, followed by masterful guitar, cello percussion and, of course the dancing. The price was right and the complimentary sangria was a nice touch. I give it my highest recommendation

This was the best experience for anyone but especially families with elementary aged kids. It was the perfect length (1 hour) to expose them to culture and flamenco dancing! Our kids were interested the entire time and actually said it was their favorite part of their day. Andina was a gorgeous dancer and the singers and players were incredible too! Highly recommend!

Matt_P, Jun 2026
A great show in an intimate little basement room. Long enough to showcase each of the extremely talented performers, but short enough to keep the attention of a modern adolescent. My kids and I enjoyed the show and the preceding history talk immensely.

Passionate, soul eating experience!

Almasol_H, Jun 2026

Great Experience

erin_m, Jun 2026
Highly recomend! Go a it early to get your drink and enjoy the lounge. The sangria was amazing! It is an imtimate setting when you go down to watch the dance- there are no bad seats- but sit towards the middle. It is a bit cooler, so bring a scarf. Also the MC who does the intro was FANTASTIC!

Brenda_P, Jun 2026
I have not been before but not what I expected. Very intimate setting. I expected more dancers. The music was very good. Needed to educate myself on the whole flamenco experience I guess

Bite sized perfection

Up close and personal

This was a great, intimate experience. Our 9 and 11 year old boys loved getting a coca-cola and watching the action up close.
