Returning to the St. Mane following a memorable 2019 performance, Zorongo is performing a poignant new work entitled Casita. Inspired by homeless women’s stories, Casita — danced by Susana di Palma and Jeanne d’Arc Casas — will feature original flamenco/blues/jazz music performed by guitarist Ben Abrahamson, Billy Steele on keyboard, and vocalist Tonia Hughes with flamenco percussionist Jose Moreno.

Artistic Director & Choreographer Susana di Palma founded Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre in 1982 and it is one of the few American dance companies that present both traditional flamenco programs, as well as original productions.
