Lecture/demonstrations
The Kennedy Center, Washington Performing Arts and Montgomery County, MD Schools sponsor Ziva's Spanish Dance Ensemble for lecture demonstrations in schools and for senior citizen's groups in the Washington metropolitan area, Virginia and Maryland respectively.
The Ensemble presents a lively, interactive music and dance performance, complete with regional costumes, castanets, and guitars.
Children have the opportunity to watch and listen to Spanish music and dance, hear about Spain's colorful history, and ask questions. The children may participate in a "pitos y palmas" session and learn a small dance.

The Spanish Dancers offer exciting and colorful activities that appeal to all ages and reflect the rich culture and history of Spain. Through demonstrations and classes we present the rhythms, music, basic dance steps, brief introduction to castanets and palmas (a), and costumes of each region. At the close of a residency we can present a lecture demonstration performance with student participation.
