Fallas y Danzas Españolas with Sylvan Winds
The Sylvan Winds return to the Hispanic Society with flamenco dancer Eva Conti for an exciting program celebrating the 150th Anniversary of Manuel de Falla’s birth featuring music from El Amor Brujo and the Three-Cornered Hat. In addition, the program will feature performances of works by Albeniz, Granados, and Turina.
This program is supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
Celebrate the 21st anniversary of the classic documentary about 11-year-old New York City public school kids, including students from P.S. 115 in Washington Heights, journeying into the world of ballroom dancing and revealing pieces of themselves and their world along the way. Told from their candid, sometimes hilarious perspectives, these kids are transformed, from reluctant participants to determined competitors, from typical urban kids to “ladies and gentlemen,” on their way to try to compete in the final citywide competition. The documentary provides unique insight into that moment when becoming that “cool” teenager vies for position with familiar innocence, all while learning how to merengue, rumba, tango, foxtrot, and swing.
After the movie the “stars” of the documentary – including Alejandro (aka Wilson), Yomaira Reynoso, and others – director Marilyn Agrelo, and other filmmakers will be interviewed by Dancing Classrooms Executive Director Eve Wolff.
Doors Open: 6:00pm | Dance: 6:45pm | Movie: 7:00pm | Reunion & Talk Back: 9:00pm
Please note: The Season of Community is a different series than Movies at the Palace with Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is not scheduled to be at this screening.
