Dance Performance | Explore Flamenco History in NYC & See a Live Performance


To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Flamenco Festival New York, enjoy a lecture by Jose Javier Leon on La Argentinita and the intersections of flamenco, Lorca, and Spanish cultural identity. The lecture will be followed by a live performance with artists who are also participating in the 25th anniversary of Flamenco Festival New York, bringing La Argentinita's legacy to life through the very art form she helped transform. In February 1930, three friends converged in New York City: the singer and bailaora Encarnacion Lopez Julvez--known as La Argentinita, one of the most influential Spanish artists of the 20th century; her partner, the bullfighter, writer, and impresario Ignacio Sanchez Mejias; and the poet Federico Garcia Lorca, who had been living at Columbia University since June 1929. During those days, Encarna performed in several of the city's theaters, Ignacio lectured on bullfighting, and Lorca on poetry. But more importantly, in New York, they conceived ideas and collaborations that would reshape the future of flamenco, expanding its expressive possibilities and projecting it onto international stages. The city became, through them, a catalyst for new forms--bridging flamenco with ballet, Spanish song, and modern artistic experimentation.

Dancing | GRAMMY-Nominated Bassist Alvaro Benavides Brings Rhythmic Surge to the Stage


Originally from Venezuela, the GRAMMY-nominated bassist Alvaro Benavides brings unshakeable timing and unerring instinct to the stage, sharing beats and grooves that combust alongside the cajon into an uplifting and powerful rhythmic surge. In the past decade, Benavides has been best known as a member of the acclaimed Pedrito Martinez Group, and he has also been seen on stage with luminaries including Wynton Marsalis, John Scofield, Steve Gadd, Ruben Blades, and Issac Delgado. For an intimate social dance event, Benavides leads a quintet featuring his former bandmates Jhair Sala on percussion and Ariacne Trujillo on keys and vocals--accompanied by Leo Gruber on back vocals and a very special guest: master cajon player Diego "El Negro" Alvarez. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Dance Performance | An Intimate Journey Through Dance and Human Aspiration


Join the artists for an intimate glimpse into the creative process behind their evolving dance performance. The piece examines the persistent human drive to ascend physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It explores the bravery and self-awareness required to transcend limitations and rise above. On stage, the dancers will transform the environment into a playground filled with semi-transparent steps and screens that hide, distort, challenge, invite, and test resilience. Moving from being restricted and hidden among obstacles, they eventually unburden themselves and soar, embracing growth and potential.
