November 20, 2024 – "Spanish Dance to Flamenco 1894-2024" by Carlota Santana & Meira Goldberg
Santana and Goldberg will present the journey of Spanish dance in the U.S., beginning with the famed dancer Carmencita, who became the first woman to be filmed by Thomas Edison in 1894. The lecture will cover more than a century of Spanish and Flamenco dance, enriched by video footage and imagery of iconic performers.
Hope to see you there!
