Latin Iberian Show 10:30 a.m. – 11:35 a.m. is an immersive journey through the soul of Latin America and Spain. Commence with the captivating energy of Mexico, featuring pieces inspired by Frida Kahlo. Be enthralled by classic Spanish dances and the vibrancy of Brazilian samba. Experience the lively rhythm of Valencia’s Pasodoble and a stirring pop Latino musical medley. Feel the pulse of Spain through “Elementos”, a classic Spanish performance using abanicos (fans), manton (shawl), and castañuelas (castanets). Lose yourself in the passionate zapateado dance styles, and celebrate Puerto Rican culture with plena tambores and popular hits.

The Arts & Dance Experience Noon-1:05 p.m. is an educational journey through the pulsating world of Latin and Spanish music and dance where audience members become part of the performance blending fun and education. Starting with a stirring blend of Latino-Flamenco rhythms, the performance then moves to ‘Suite Latina’, a vibrant showcase of legendary Latin songs. ‘Suite Española’ leads deeper into Spanish musical traditions, concluding with an exciting ‘Interactividad Musical’ – an opportunity to take part in a professionally choreographed dance. Standing distinct from the Latin Iberian show, ‘The Arts & Dance Experience’ places an emphasis on education, turning spectators into participants.
Engage with the vibrant cultures of Latin America and Spain in an unprecedented way – learn, dance, and celebrate in a show where you become the star.
