One of the new icons of flamenco dance, Mario Ruiz, comes to London for a very special night, including a performance, social dance class and jam! Born in Mexico and now based in Seville, Ruiz has trained with some of flamenco’s biggest figures, including Antonio Canales, Farruquito, El Carpeta, Niño de los Reyes, José Maldonado and Pedro Córdoba, and has shared the stage with renowned artists including Jesús Corbacho, Jesús Rodríguez and Paco Vega.
The night’s schedule is as follows:
18:00–19:30 — SOCIAL DANCE CLASS
Mario is definitely the king of tangos, and he is bringing all that joy. No flamenco shoes needed. No experience needed. Everyone is welcome! Expect old-school moves, plenty of groove and, most importantly, the weight and attitude you need to dance por tangos at any flamenco party. You will leave with your very own pataíta (little dance) ready to go!
Already experienced? Come anyway — we promise you haven’t learnt tangos quite like this.
With live music from Bryan Reyes (guitar) and Laura González (voice).
20:15–21:30 — THE SHOW
Witness Mario’s magic on stage: flamenco from the roots, fierce, raw and full of character. Joining him is incredible London talent Mónica García (voice), Adrián Solá (guitar) and Agoney Hernández (percussion).
Duration: 1-hour show + 15-minute interval.
21:30–00:30 — JAM & JUERGA!
After the show, the floor is open! Musicians can play alongside the artists just seen on stage, dancers can try out their new pataíta, singers can jump in… and everyone else can simply enjoy the beautiful chaos. A little warning for the planners among you: the juerga starts when it starts. It is completely improvised. No programme, no running order, no pressure. Hang out, listen, play, sing, dance and join when the moment feels right.
All styles and levels are welcome. If you know the drill, you already know you need to come.
And if you are new to all this… you have been missing out on one of London’s most exciting underground communities. Consider this your invitation to join us, meet wonderful people and witness some incredible artists.
