Brisas sizzles with hot moves and music"-Contra Costa Times
"The Flamenco legacy of Lola Montes lives on in the pure dance poetry of Carolina Lugo's Brisas de España. The dazzling colors and passionate energy of this troupe will leave you breathless."~ Diablo Magazine
“Lugo is a woman with complicated memories and sorrows… When she dances, she conveys depths of melancholy, devilishness or joy through the apt placement of her torso. The tilt of her ribs, for example, is just right to create that essential image of dignity, slight arrogance and emotional daring without which Flamenco is just another collection of steps and tunes. As a musician she’s equally sophisticated, inhabiting the music in the middle of every beat, with a command that is neither haughty nor proud, but self-assured, at ease.She dances the way some French cook—with what appears to be a graceful inevitability discovered on the spot. ~ Ann Murphy, Dance Critic for Dance View West
