Spain's Dancing Rhythms at the Library

Experience the elegance and passion of Spanish dance, music and culture when the Ensemble Español appears at the Des Plaines Public Library on Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 2:00 p.m.  Founded in 1976 by artistic director Dame Libby Komaiko, the Ensemble Español is internationally recognized as the premier center for Spanish dance in America.  

The company will present Spain’s Dancing Rhythms. This vibrant program was designed for schools and community organizations and is both entertaining and educational. Wearing beautiful, authentic costumes the artists will perform dances in the classical, folkloric and Flamenco styles showcasing the range of Spanish dance forms.  

The Ensemble Español Spanish Dance Theater is a not for profit arts organization in residence at Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago and is partially supported by grants from the Illinois Arts Council and the City Arts Program from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs.

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
