Oye Ritmo Spanish Dance
May 5, 2011
Bringing to life the spirit of Spain, Oye Ritmo will captivate audiences of all ages. This group of ladies has been dancing together since their childhood years. All born to Spanish parents; the group feels very passionately about their rich Spanish heritage and culture. Formerly known as Para Siempre, Spanish Folkloric Dance Group, they have performed to great acclaim both locally and inter-stae at all of Australia’s premier Festivals including – National Folk Festival, Canberra; Australian Celtic Festival, Glen Innes; the Woodford Folk Festival; and Queensland’s Multicultural Festival, Brisbane.
Oye Ritmo showcases all the most popular Spanish dance pieces such as Rumba, Sevillanas and Fandango. Their dance repertoire draws from three key Spanish dance styles – the passion and fire of flamenco, the grace and timeless elegance of classical Spanish dance, and the earthiness and spirit of traditional Folk dances. Beating footwork, beautiful flowing movements and turns, as well as intricate castanets rhythms feature as part of all their breathtaking performances.

Sun 19 June 2011 Home Festival
11am to 8.30pm at Kangaroo Point
We can’t wait to welcome you HOME – Sunday 19th June!
Due to the consistent rain we received in the week leading up to 9th April we chose to postpone our Home Festival so as not to damage our precious site, Raymond Park. We’re working towards our new date, Sunday 19th June which is a crisp time of the year but more importantly a seasonally dry time.
Stay in touch with us for up to date info on our facebook page @ Home Festival.
The inaugural Home Festival at Raymond Park, Kangaroo Point, will be the community’s ‘home’ for a day. Locals are being invited to take ownership of the festival, which has been instigated by a group of people with a passion for community, music and local culture.
Home Festival is an opportunity to celebrate our common ground, a springboard to connections, fun, confidence, humour and a stronger belief that we live in a healthy, positive community. Welcome Home!
