(BRICK TOWNSHIP, NJ) -- Twirling shawls, swirling music, pounding footwork and clicking castanets. Let the Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre offer you "A Taste of Spain" at the Ocean County Library Brick Branch on Saturday, September 28, 2024. The event begins at 2:30pm.

Take a fascinating, interactive journey to Spain’s scenic sites and vibrant history through the dance troupe’s kaleidoscope of movement, flamboyant costumes and flashing fans.

Alborada’s artistry highlights the complex fabric of Spanish culture in an engaging, educational way. Interpretations of Spanish Gypsy Flamenco, classical and regional dances reflect influences of cultures including Hispanic, Moorish, Celtic and more.

Eva Lucena, Artistic Director of the Woodbridge-based nonprofit troupe, carries on the commitment of founder María Alba to offer a broad view of Spanish culture and traditions. The company maintains a steady tour schedule, brings dance culture to schools and community settings, and also conducts classes.
