Many thanks to all who attended the Colorado Music Hall of Fame Community Impact Awards event. Our show went amazingly well — we even received a standing ovation that led to an encore. What a beautiful tribute to my Uncle René Heredia and the many aficionados who shaped flamenco in Colorado. Thank you, La Furia, Rick Pruitt, Monica Perez, and Matt Schreiber for you joining me in the tribute performance. Thank you CIF community for attending the awards show and the flowers! ¡Gracias, La Chana por tu apoyo!

Experience the heartbeat of flamenco in the center of Denver’s music scene, vibe, and energy in this exclusive evening at the Colorado Music Hall of Fame Community Impact Awards to honor the legacy of my uncle and mentor, René Heredia, who recently passed away March 01, 2026 at the age of 87. Joining me in this tribute performance is Colorado Institute of Flamenco’s own Debra "La Furia" Belo and Matt Schreiber, with Flamenco Fantasy Dance Theatre Alumni Diane Lapierre, Monica Perez, and Rick Pruitt.

Thank you so much for your outpouring of kindness and words of comfort as our family takes time to reflect and celebrate the life of our uncle, René Heredia.

WE WANT YOU TO SUCCEED! Each and every one of you possesses enormous potential. So, be sure to reserve your spot early by purchasing Tablao October 19.

This event is open to everyone, whether you are currently enrolled as a CIF student, new to flamenco, or have studied elsewhere and are looking for a welcoming outlet to practice and further hone your skills.

This is a great chance to connect with fellow students and aficionados within our community. So, don’t miss out on your chance to participate in what is really a unique experience—an opportunity you simply won’t find anywhere else.
