Flamenco Intimo at Symphony Space

Siudy Garrido is one of todays most impressive beauties in the Flamenco dance scene. She has been hailed not only by fans, but also by media around the world. Mesmerizing, first-class, perfection, and a queen are among the medias descriptions of celebrated dancer Siudy Garrido. In 2022 she ventures in its first US tour 2 years after canceled performances at the Flamenco Festival in New York 2020. The company will present an intimate repertoire with personal work, featuring the Venezuelan, Miami-based Bailaora (Flamenco dancer) in collaboration with Spanish composer and guitarist Jose Luis de La Paz accompanied by extraordinary musicians and seven company dancers in a one night only tour-de-force of colorful choreography and enchanting musical solos.Siudy Garridos upbringing in Caracas, Venezuela provides her interpretation of flamenco with a fresh layer of non-traditional nuances, I work hard at keeping my work honest to who I am and avoid imitating stereotypes of folklore, comments Siudy about her approach. I respect the dance and music forms and rules of expression, but choose to design different costumes and mix choreographic ideas within my own honest influences. Her mothers 50-year flamenco institute in Latin America, awarded by the king of Spain, and Garridos own musical influences make her a new exiting voice in the genre. Her work has been approved by cultural entities such as Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, in two collaborations, 2015 and 2019 respectively; Flamenco star Farruquito, who collaborated with the company in 2015; and master flamenco dancer Antonio Canales who collaborated and toured with the company in 2014.Returning to the live stage has not been an easy task. However, now more than ever, we have the absolute commitment to safely bring evocative art that provides inspiration to everyone. Each performance we are able to present is for us a celebration of life. The company takes pride in promoting the recovery of live events, including this upcoming performance in New York City at the Peter Norton, Symphony Space on February 12th, 2022 - 8:00PM
