Ballet Flamenco is recognized as one of the top Flamenco & Spanish Dance Company's in the America's. The uniquencess of the company emanetes from the combination of  flamenco & Spanish dance presented on stage by Artistic Director Carolina Lugo &     Carolé Acúña.

"If you walk down Powell Street from Columbus Avenue in San Francisco's North Beach District, at the top of your climb you will arrive at Peña Pachamama Restaurant which is well worth the effort. When you enter this old night club on Sunday nights this Fall and Winter, its bohemian charms are still very present, warm and inviting. At 6:15 pm it’s well worn hardwood floors resonate with the pulsating sounds of footwork, song, castanets, syncopated hand clapping and guitar. Carolina Lugo & daughter, Carolé Acuña and their company of flamenco dancers, burn the floor and play castanets with a mastery that can only be found in Spain. If you have not seen this group in one of it’s many Concert Hall performances, this is an opportunity to experience, up close and personal, their  high energy and passion for their art that defines a new dimension to Flamenco and Spanish dance traditions. Truely a very special evening of entertainment."-- Richard Provenzano- Flamenco Blog

 

Come and embrace the spirit, energy, fiery dance and music traditions of Spain and find out why Toba Singer of Critical Dance exclaimed...., “See this accomplished troupe for their richness, history, high definition dancing.....you will leave the theatre completely enchanted!"

Carolina and her daughter, Carolé Acúña, have a rich history of performing Flamenco and Classical Spanish Dance to sell out audiences in the Bay Area, West Coast and internationally in China since 1998. They have collaborated and shared the stage with multiple notable Flamenco artists from Spain and abroad since the inception of the company in 1995. This dynamic duet, outstanding performers and their company of dancers and musicians have shared the world stage together to create an evolution of beauty, intensity and style. ”It is when Lugo and her daughter Carolé dance together that the women unearth a new dimension in dance, prompting a dialogue with the audience about beauty, life  cycles, love and death.”    -Ann Murphy, Oakland Tribune.
