About this event:

For five decades, Ensemble Español has shared the passion, rhythm, and soul of Spanish dance with Chicago and the world, one breathtaking step at a time.

Now, we invite you to celebrate that history and - more importantly - to become a part of our future. Join us for an unforgettable evening as we honor the steps that brought us here and ignite the passion that will propel us into the next 50 years.

This is more than a party; it's a pledge to the next generation of artists and audiences.

Experience an evening of vibrant culture and community featuring:

• A “Steps to the Future" Showcase: Witness a unique runway presentation of iconic, historic costumes from each of our five decades, worn by the youth company members who are our future.

• A Taste of Spain: Sip on Spanish wines and savor a selection of tapas and cheeses throughout the evening.

• The Rhythm of Spain: Dance to the energy of live Spanish guitar.

• An Interactive Legacy: Mingle with the legendary dancers who originally wore the showcased costumes and join our company on the dance floor.

Your presence and support will help write our next chapter, funding new works, youth engagement, community education, and the artists who are the soul of our ensemble.
