A DATE WITH ROMANZA ESPANOLA

I was at Romanza Espanola because of Rose Borromeo and Chang Hsiao Min. One is a long time friend; the other is a fellow bellydancer. Both are dedicated Flamenco artistes. Romanza Espanola is the expression of their love for the dance form in their own way.


... with long time friend Rose Borromeo,
Artistic Director of The Rose Borromeo Spanish Dance Company


Romanza Espanola is a two act Spanish dance-drama-theatre produced by Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and the Rose Borromeo Spanish Dance Company.

Act One - Viva Flamenco - is a series of dance that showcases Flamenco rhythms.

Act Two - Romanza Espanola - tells the universal story of young love through dance, music comedy and drama.

My knowledge of Spanish culture and dance is regrettably limited. But for one short evening, I was transported to a magical place where arrogant elegance meets forkloric charm, where fiery temperament meets romantic naivete. I saw the beauty in the proud that is the Spanish character.
