Briseyda Zárate is an inspired and skilled Professional Flamenco Dancer, Choreographer, and Master Teacher from Los Angeles, CA. She is celebrated for her fiery intensity, technical prowess, and her ability to convey the essence at the heart of Flamenco. She has lived and performed extensively in Spain and the US and is among the few in the top-most level of those practicing this art form in the United States.
Cristina "La Tigresa" Lucio, a Los Angeles flamenco dancer, began her training of flamenco puro with Linda Andrade over 16 years ago. She continued her studies in Seville, Spain with legendary gypsy flamenco dancers Carmelilla Montoya, Manuela Carrasco and Angelita Vargas.

Sonic love travels in many dimensions and as it relates to music, Marques Wyatt is a seminal pioneer and is undoubtedly one of the most respected DJs in the United States and a West Coast legend. In addition to producing some of LA's most legendary clubs/events, many associate him with "DEEP," the illustrious event that he nurtured in his hometown of Los Angeles - thriving and continuing today for well over 20 years. He is one of the few DJ's that have managed to cross pollinate audiences and merge at least two generations of music fans on his dance floors. Thus, he is in demand at clubs, as well as on the festival circuit alike, stateside and abroad. Marques' unerring, knowledgeable selections are sure to stir up some emotions and known to turn huge dance floors into intimate rituals.
