Join New Jersey’s premier Spanish &amp; Flamenco dance company, the critically acclaimed Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre for two FREE public USA/250 History Lecture/Demo events on September 26th at the Kennedy Library, Piscataway and on October 4th St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Perth Amboy. Both events are at 2:30 PM.
As Spain’s crucial role in the American Revolution is not commonly known or acknowledged, Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre will celebrate Spain’s contributions and the legacy of Hispanics to U.S. Independence with a cross disciplinary program featuring a history Power Point presentation by Paul Soltis, a New Jersey State Parks Historian, and live demonstrations of Spain’s 18th Century dance and music traditions by Alborada's dancers and musicians as well as reenactment specialist, Maria Hill. •	The event brings to light how Spain and the Caribbean colonies shaped the battle for American Independence, including one of the most important players, General Bernardo de Gálvez. •	The focus on New Jersey highlights Juan de Miralles, a Spanish merchant based in Cuba who supplied funds, munitions, uniforms and supplies, meeting with Washington at his headquarters at the Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage in Somerset NJ owned by Jacob Hardenbergh, the first President of Queen's College, now called Rutgers University

Both entertaining and educational, the variety of its repertoire runs the artistic gamut of Spanish Flamenco and traditional dances, to Hispanic, Celtic, Moorish cultural influences and beyond. Tammy LaGorce, New York Times, Alborada is “awhirl in drama and color.”
