The show consists of ten scenes of different lengths, with the figure of the dancer as a material that is transformed and dressed for every dance and every piece. Choreographers gift us with a variety of pieces and movements, changes in style, wardrobe changes and "palos flamencos", providing the stage with a vibrant power in each choreography.

Cambio de Tercio is a dance with a mixture of styles based on the classical Spanish and flamenco dance, such as: CANTINAS, SEVILLANAS, FANDANGOS,RUMBAS, BAMBERAS, BULERIAS, TANGUILLOS y SEGUIDILLAS (danced with 4 spectacular tail dressing gowns and Spanish gowns). Rojas y Rodríguez with their four female dancers and together with live music played by six musicians, are back with this new show, that they consider their best creation together.

As is to be expected with choreographies of this quality, Rojas and Rodriguezwill gift us with solos, duets and exciting group numbers full of sensuality and strength. One of the major innovative aspects of this production is the active participation of the musicians on stage interacting with the cast of dancers in the choreographies. The visual effects in this show are guaranteed due to the careful selection of costumes and lighting designed exclusively for this occasion.
