BPL Outdoors dance fitness and classes Events for Youth and Family live music performance


This is an in person program.

Join Sol “La Argentinita” for a family-friendly production featuring live dance and music in a vibrant and entertaining production full of color, rhythm, and emotions. Explanations and interactive exercises are intermixed with high-energy performance pieces, as well as plenty of audience participation. Audience members of all ages learn about the history and geography of Southern Spain and are taught how to play the castanets and las palmas, rhythmic hand-clapping. They are also led through Flamenco’s prototypical “zapateo” (footwork) and are invited to join the artists to do a short dance number at the end.

This top-notch performance gives family members of all ages a true taste of the Southern Spanish art of Flamenco; children and parents alike will leave with a big “Ole!”
 

The program will take place in the staff library parking lot located on Barbey St (between Livonia Ave and New Lots Ave).  In the event of inclement weather, the program will take place in the auditorium.

This program is funded by Brooklyn Arts Fund.
