Camborne Youth Band are currently busy preparing their performance of Alan Fernie's 'Three Spanish Impressions' for the West of England Championships in Torquay next month. To help raise funds for the trip, this Thursday (27th February), the band are hosting an evening celebrating all things Spanish!
The Band's home, Tuckingmill Pavilion, will be transformed for the night allowing guest to enjoy a Spanish tapas bar, alongside music, dancing and refreshments. The Youth Band will perform specialy selected Spanish pieces during the evening, while Flamenco dancing will be led by local expert, Claudia Caolin.
Born in Germany, Claudia Caolin was fascinated with Flamenco dance from a very early age, initiated by the legendary visits to Frankfurt in the early seventies of the international touring company Festival Flamenco Gitano, starring the incomparable La Singla.
Serious training commenced for Claudia at the age of 18, when she started classes in Ballet, Jazz, Modern and Flamenco dance. At the age of 20 she embarked on a professional dance career with many years of study in all of these styles, starting to teach dance from 1990 onwards. Her main teachers in Germany were Amparo de Triana and Ana Sojor.
