WHAT DOES "TINTO DE VERANO" MEAN?

"Tinto de Verano" is a typical Mediterranean drink, made from red wine and sparkling lemonade. It is a very digestive drink. Since it has very little alcohol it is great as an apperitive beverage for all kinds of celebrations. It is best served with ice and lemon.

If anyone of you has a video tape with Tinto de Verano's performances, we would appreciate it if we could have a copy of it.

MEMBERS - About us

2005-06-23T19:18:00.000+02:00

We are a diverse group with one common passion: Sevillanas. We enjoy dancing, teaching Sevillanas, and performing. Tinto de Verano consists of 4 enthousiastic dancers.

Imelda Echevarria: I was born in León, Spain, in 1982. Although my first Sevillana lesson took place in my hometown when I was only 8 years old, it was in 1996, when I moved to Holland, when my Sevillanas journey really started. I took lessons from Aurelio and Sandra Sanjuán and moved on dancing some Flamenco, under guidance of Joke Uljee in Leiden. After a while I started teaching Sevillanas, together with Aurelio.

Aurelio Alonso: I was born in Cartagena, Spain, in 1966. I learned how to dance Sevillanas from Spanish dancers in El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz (Spain) when I was a teenager. Later I improved my style by assisting to a private Dancing School, also in El Puerto. Since 1997 I have been teaching Sevillanas in different locations of Holland, and have been performing regularly, both in Holland and in Belgium. I have taken part in different Sevillanas contests as participant and as jury. Every year I attend one of the most important Ferias in Spain (Málaga, Jerez, Puerto de Santa María, etc) together with our enthousiastic Dutch pupils.

Ekaterina Gasperovitch: I was born in Tbilisi – capital city of Georgia – in 1967. Since 1993 I live in Holland. I learned Sevillanas from Aurelio Alonso and Sandra Sanjuán in 1999. At the same time I began dancing Flamenco with Teresa Jaldón and Vida Peral in Amsterdam. Since a couple of years ago I teach Sevillanas with Aurelio and take part in different Sevillanas events and contests.

Azucena Mayordomo: I was born in Valladolid, Spain, in 1972. I have always been a huge Sevillanas fan but never had the chance to learn how to dance them until I in 1999 met Sandra Sanjuan and Aurelio Alonso in The Hague. Since then, I have been involved in all kinds of Sevillanas events: classes, contests, fiestas... I even make my own Sevillanas clothes. I am currently taking flamenco lessons.
