On Friday, May 30, Fuengirola’s Palacio de la Paz will host the end-of-year performance of the Culture Department’s classical ballet workshop, presenting Danzas de Don Quijote.
The show, starting at 8pm, is free to enter until all the seats are taken. Directed by the esteemed ballet instructor, Diana Jurado, the show features almost 80 dance students of all ages and levels, including one talented five-year-old dancer, showing off his skills in a meticulously crafted production.
The show draws inspiration from the 19th-century ballet Don Quijote which was originally choreographed by Marius Petipa with music by León Minkus. The workshop has adapted the ballet’s principal dances into three acts, specifically tailored to the students’ varying levels of skill. Known for its attention to detail, precise choreography, and stunning costumes, the performance looks like it will captivate audiences with its colourful interpretation of this classic piece.
The Culture Department’s spokesperson spoke of the workshop’s reputation for excellence, and welcoming back its much-loved instructor after a health-related hiatus. With its mix of tradition and youthful energy, Danzas de Don Quijote is set to be a highlight of the local cultural calendar.
