World-class review of ballet and dance.

This year's two-week run saw the National Ballet of Spain, Premio Nacional de Danza winner Olga Pericet in her intimate solo piece, “La Leona,” and Gala Flamenca, highlighting dance talents Manuel Liñán, Alfonso Losa, El Yiyo, and Paula Comitre, accompanied by vocalist Sandra Carrasco.
