BALLET ESPAÑOL

The UTRGV Ballet Español Company provides students the opportunity to study the art of Spanish dance which encompasses a great range of styles such as bailes folkloricos representing different regions of Spain; Flamenco, the art of the Roma (“Gypsies”) of Spain and its "palos" such as Alegrias, Tangos, Solea, Bulerias, Siguiriyas and Escuela Bolera; a style of classical dance and music from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that combines classical ballet principles with typical Spanish arm movements, castanets, flamenco footwork, and folkloric steps, to create classical Spanish dance works like "La Boda de Luis Alonso". The Ballet Español Company presents formal public concerts and school concerts every spring and smaller events on campus and for the community throughout the year.
