Ritmos de Flamenco @ SCU!

Flamenco is a combination of song, dance, and guitar with gypsy roots. It's pretty awesome that we have a group that specializes in this exotic dance right in our backyard. Arte Flamenco de San Jose is a non-profit organization that has been promoting and teaching flamenco since 1992.

Their big annual show is coming up this weekend at Mayer Theatre at Santa Clara University and you won't want to miss it! Professional dancers, singers, and guitarists will be on hand to provide unique entertainment you won't easily find anywhere else in the South Bay. This performance is one day only, so if you're interested now is the time to act.

Also, if you become inspired to try out flamenco for yourself they offer classes right over here.

Ballet San Jose - A Great City (Part 5 of 5)

The final part of Ballet San Jose's documentary takes a step back and talks about the impact a world class cultural attraction has on the city. This is my favorite part of the documentary and I definitely recommend watching it even if you haven't seen their other pieces. You'll even get some encouraging words from Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak about his hometown of San Jose. Just click the link below!
