[DanceHouse Celebration Week]
November 30
Aires Flamencos performed at an Amnesty Fundraiser for Zimbabwe. Aires Flamencos were very happy to get involved and entered into the true spirit of Xmas of giving by supporting such a good cause. Thanks to everyone for a unique flamenco performance and giving so generously of their time and talent.
"Thursday night, 8th of November Aires Flamencos performed in the new venue of club Sult, The Vaults. The public was mostly Irish, and had their first experience with flamenco."
