In celebration of their 20th anniversary, La Rosa will
present their greatest hits and most memorable moments in a dynamic
showcase at the Oude Libertas Amphitheatre in December. Swirling skirts,
castanets and a passionate display of Flamenco dancing, rhythms and sounds
are what audiences have come to expect from La Rosa, and Celebración
Flamenca is no exception.
Celebración Flamenca is directed by Carolyn Holden, La Rosa’s founder and
director, who has been bringing audiences innovative, slick and passionate
performances since 1990. The production features choreography by Holden
and by the Madrid-based choreographers Joaquin Ruiz, La Truco, Domingo
Ortega and the late Javier Cruiz, performed by La Rosa’s top dancers.

They will be accompanied by a musical ensemble including the
well known Flamenco guitarist, Bienyameen, with Robert Jeffery (of Flat
Stanley fame) on guitar and cello, Robert Davids on cajón and with South
Africa’s own cantaora Loreán Swartz on vocals.
La Rosa Spanish Dance Theatre was founded in 1990 as a platform for
students of Spanish dance to perform their chosen art form on a regular
basis and at a professional level. Continuous and increasingly frequent
performances in and around Cape Town, and at Arts and Dance festivals
across the country have established the company as one of the foremost
exponents of this dance discipline. La Rosa has also been involved in
outreach and development initiatives since 1997 focusing on making
flamenco accessible to the youth, developing the artistic and technical
skills of potential professionals and growing audiences across the broader
socio-economic spectrum.
