ABRIDGE CARNIVAL 2006

Sunday 11th June 2006

We still didn't manage to win first prize for our float at the Abridge Carnival this year - but in our opinion ours was definitely the best!  On the hottest day of the year so far, it looked really colourful covered in the fans that the children had made - with special thanks to all the mums and dads who tied and stapled tirelessly in the sun to help get everything ready for the procession

We performed in the main marquee during the afternoon to huge appreciation from the large audience.  The children danced Fandangos de Huelva, Tangos and Bulerias, and showed off their fans during a short piece of Solea.  The performance from the adult students included Sevillanas, Tangos, Fandangos, Bulerias and Alegrias

KATHAK / FLAMENCO FUSION - November 2005

Despite the cold, the "Flames and Fire" production of Kathak / Flamenco fusion kept things warm at the Lamplight Arts Centre in County Durham

There are many musical and rhythmic links between these Indian and Spanish dance forms and Khatak is thought by many to be the root of Flamenco
