Sergio Bernal Dance Company * Nov. 9 * Flamenco, Spanish & Classical dance comes to Segerstrom, Costa Mesa, CA

November 9, 2024, 7:30 pm
Segerstrom Hall, 600 Town Center Drive, 
Costa Mesa, CA 92626

A show that combines the strength of flamenco, the accent and nature of Spanish dance and the virtuosity and brilliance of classical dance.

Globally celebrated as “exhilarating and enchanting” (The Guardian), former Principal Dancer of the Ballet Nacional de España Sergio Bernal brings his first evening-length program in the US to Segerstrom Hall.

Created by Bernal and choreographer Ricardo Cue, A Night with Sergio Bernal melds the bravado and speed of Spanish flamenco with the grace and precision of ballet. Accompanied by three masterful musicians and fellow award-winning flamenco dancers, Bernal pushes both forms towards a new frontier.
