Suddenly it seems like flamenco dancer/educator Alice Blumenthal (not a very flamenco name) is everywhere with her Cleveland-based ensemble Abrepaso.
If that’s piqued your interest, head on down to Edgewater Beach this Sunday and join her and her dancers for their annual flamenco flashmob (remember flashmobs?) Everyone’s invited! You don’t need flamenco training or even need to be a dancer. She’s got a video of the choreography posted on YouTube that you can practice at home.
The group will gather at the Edgewater Pier in lower Edgewater Park where they’ll go over the choreography and figure out the spacing. Then everyone will head over to the beach to actually execute the dance. Wear anything you like — no costume necessary.
“Part of the excitement of the flashmob is seeing regular people suddenly start dancing!” she says.
Rain date is September 5.
