Come and embrace the spirit, energy, fiery dance and music traditions of Spain and find out why Toba Singer of Critical Dance exclaimed... See this accomplished troupe for the history, richness, costumes, high definition dancing and haunting music, as well as for the texture and color of Spanish Dance. You will leave the theater completely enchanted! It is when Lugo and her daughter Carole dance together that the women unearth a new dimension in dance, prompting a dialogue with the audience about beauty, life cycles,
love and death. -Ann Murphy, Oakland Tribune.
