Gr. 4-5: Experienced-Advanced         Duration: ca. 7:15

Carnival! is a celebration! The program is divided into three parts, each featuring music that captures the energy and excitement of a festive gathering.

The first part of the show features the vibrant Latin rhythms of Tico Tico by Zequinha de Abreu, Bésame Mama by Poncho Sanchez, and Manteca by Dizzy Gillespie. These upbeat and lively tunes set the tone for a party that is in full swing, with dancers and revelers filling the streets and letting loose in a joyous celebration of life.

The second part of the show slows things down with the sultry and sensual sound of Corcovado by Antônio Carlos Jobim. This bossa nova classic evokes the romantic atmosphere of a party, with couples swaying in each other's arms and lost in the moment.

The final part of the show picks up the pace once again with the fiery and explosive sounds of Spain by Chick Corea, Caravan, and Manteca. These dynamic tunes build to a crescendo of energy and excitement, with the band and dancers coming together in a frenzy of movement and sound.

Join us as we dance, sing, and celebrate in this high-energy tribute to the ultimate party atmosphere.
