Radha Garcia grew up dancing and playing music. When she was just five years old, her mother put her in a flamenco class.
Now she is a professional flamenco dancer. She performs in Aspen as part of Juan Siddi Flamenco on Thursday at the Aspen District Theatre.
“We loved it,” Garcia said. “Flamenco stuck with me. I knew I loved the music and dancing. It was one thing that I wanted to stick with.”
She also occasionally plays violin in the ensemble. She said her mindsets for dance and music are totally different.
“You’re so wrapped up in dancing and the piece, then you suddenly have to switch the brain …,” she said.
