24 September 2012 - Spanish Dancing




At our first meeting of the Autumn season we were Royally entertained by a group of dancers performing traditional Spanish Dances.

All amateur, they are from various backgrounds and nationalities, and meet and train at the CMO. They are led and taught their skills by Councillor Inmaculada Montesinos who appeared in some of the dances.

There were eight dances in all and included the Pasodoble, the Sardana, El Chotis and Isa from the Canary Islands.  The audience was thoroughly entertained by the dancing, music and costumes of the dancers, some of whom were Torrevieja U3A members.

The dancers practice every Wednesday afternoon at the CMO and there are also classes (on various days) for line dancing, Sevillanas and Flamenca Rumbas, amongst others.  If you are interested in joining the group you need to be a member (free membership) of the CMO.  To join the CMO you need to be on the Padron and have a SIP card.

Our thanks go to Inmaculada and her Group.
