End of the month Flamenco News

I’m enthusiastically getting ready to take off to Rapid City, South Dakota, for both work and pleasure.  In the process I’ve come into contact with some great people and I will have the joy of teaching a 4-day flamenco dance workshop from Thursday, February 26th through Sunday, March 1st.  Please visit Barefoot Dance Studios for additional information regarding workshop details.  A special thank you to Andrea Muehl and Barefoot Dance Studios!!!

The above photo, courtesy of Amanda Manfredi, was taken many months ago at Kazimierz Wine Bar.  I’m so appreciative that Amanda stopped by that evening to take some images.  Kazimierz has a nice, intimate atmosphere, perfect for flamenco aficionados.   Amanda graced us with her time, energy and extraordinary talent and eye for capturing those special moments on stage. Please visit: Lena on Myspace for upcoming performances and projects.
