Photo Flash: Inside Look at Esmeralda Enrique Spanish Dance Ensemble's EPOCAS

Esmeralda Enrique Spanish Dance Company (EESDC), voted Toronto's Best Dance Company of 2015 by NOW Magazine readers, presents the world premiere of Épocas ('Eras') at Harbourfront Centre's Fleck Dance Theatre as part of NextSteps from April 22-April 24. Épocas honours the tremendous influence of great artists that brought Spanish culture to the world in the 20th century. Scroll down to see photos of the production!

This stunning evening journeys through time to pay tribute to many of the iconic figures who helped shape and influence the music and dance of Spain that we know and love today. The program is influenced, among others, by La Argentina's neoclassical Spanish dance of the 1930s, the immensely popular José Greco and his flamenco company (who Esmeralda Enrique performed with in the 1960s) and the 1970s flamenco revival best known for the celebrated Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía and legendary flamenco singer Camarón, who often performed together.

Incorporating traditional flamenco dances and songs, old folk songs that have been integrated into the contemporary flamenco repertoire, ancient and classical Spanish dance and music, Épocas pays homage to great artists of the 20th century who brought these dances, music and songs to the world.
