Outlined below is a partial list of what Music & Dance Ensembles are available for Public & Private performances.
Presentations and Repertoire is entirely dependant on what dancers and musicians are used. Many of our dancers are in Spain or touring for portions of the year. So yes, our dancers are seasonal.
Private Party Performances
Transporting one to the ambience of Southern Spain, among the pueblos blancos and olive trees to experience the fire and passion of Flamenco, can be the “plato fuerte” (main dish) of your party and a perfect idea for spicing up a “Spanish Themed” event.

Rumba Gitana is the last section of the “Cuadro” performance where the dancers in the group invite guests to join them in the fun and show them a few steps. After a few glasses of wine or a few cocktails your guests will not be able to resist the urge to get up and learn a few dance moves. Lots of good clean fun for everyone at the party.
