A Night of Flamenco Music and Dance with Caminos Flamencos Featuring Master Guitarist Jason McGuire and Emmy Winning Dancer/ Choreographer Yaelisa with Special Guest Vocalists & Dancers Reyes Barrios and Stephanie Pedraza An evening of traditional flamenco with internationally recognized masters in the art of flamenco. Caminos Flamencos led by Jason and Yaelisa have produced some of the most creatively innovative productions in flamenco dance and music on the West Coast, influencing the development of flamenco across the U.S. and bringing some of Spain’s greatest artists to stages in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orange County and throughout the Coast. Yaelisa curated the very first international flamenco festival in California, the New World Flamenco Festival, from 2001-2015 which set the stage for other festivals that followed in her footsteps. This power duo continues to delve deeply into the art as they have done for 30 years, with Jason now a masterful luthier building custom flamenco guitars, and one he will play this evening. Their time in the Bay Area was incredibly prolific, in both training and creating new artists to this genre, and in the level and depth of their many performances. They are thrilled to bring with them a San Diego-based artist, singer/dancer Reyes Barrios, originally from Sevilla, and Stephanie Pedraza, a Canadian flamenco artist travelling on the Coast. Post-performance there will be a Q&A with the artists taking questions and discuss the art and all things flamenco! Caminos Flamencos on Facebook

In "Reencuentros: allá nos vemos/See you there," seven contemporary lens-based artists encounter time, home, (dis)placement, movement, stasis and becoming against the backdrop of the permeable US-Mexico border. Fedella Lizeth, Celeste Hernández, Jamil G. Baldwin, Aldo Cervantes, Elina Gonzalez, Alkaid Ramirez, and Raylene B. Olalde utilize photography and its intimacy to delve into the ubiquitous nature of family, home and land, examining the separations between people and place–how can home transcend the distinction between here and there? What does it mean to revisit what was once familiar? "Reencuentros: allá nos vemos/See you there" is organized by the SDSU Art Galleries. The exhibition is co-curated by William Camargo and Alexa Ramírez Posada. Programming is supported by the School of Art and Design, the Richard Anthony Marks Endowment and the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts. SDSU Art Galleries on Instagram and Facebook

Gyminny Kids Expands with New Location Inside Westfield UTC Mall Family-Owned Gymnastics Brand Brings "Fun, Fitness & Character Through Sport" to San Diego's Premier Shopping Destination for ages 9 months to adults. San Diego, CA – October 2025 – Gyminny Kids, one of California's most established and highest-rated gymnastics programs, is proud to announce the grand opening of its fifth location inside the Westfield UTC Mall. The new 5,500-square-foot facility, located in the former G3Kids space, is scheduled to open to the public in November 2025, offering classes, camps, parties, open gym, and drop-and-shop programs designed to inspire confidence and character through movement. Founded in 1987 and now celebrating nearly four decades of excellence, Gyminny Kids has become a household name in San Diego County, serving over 6,000 weekly students. The company is a two-time Inc. 5000 honoree and continues to set the standard for gymnastics education, family fun, and community impact. "Opening inside UTC is more than an expansion—it's a statement about the next chapter of family fitness in San Diego," said Daniel Gundert, Owner and CEO of Gyminny Kids. "You can literally shop Gucci downstairs and do back handsprings upstairs. It's a perfect blend of luxury, legacy, and laughter." The UTC location will feature Gyminny Kids' signature bright white "gym heaven" design, which is modern and inspiring for children and parents alike. All-inclusive programs include: - Preschool & School-Age Gymnastics Classes - Bungee Bouncers & Tumbling - Camps, Parties & Open Gyms - After-School Programs & Xcel Team Training - Drop-Off While You Shop convenience options for mall visitors - Special Needs VIP classes - State-of-the-art Olympic equipment Gundert, who began coaching at Gyminny Kids over 20 years ago and later purchased the company from its founders, has transformed the brand into the largest gymnastics organization in Southern California, serving thousands of children each week across its five locations: Poway, 4S Ranch, La Costa, Carlsbad, and now La Jolla (UTC Westfield Mall). "Our mission is simple—teach life through gymnastics," Gundert added. "Every cartwheel builds confidence, every class builds character, and every smile reminds us why we do this." The soft opening celebration (November 9, 2025, 1-5 p.m.) at UTC will be free and open to the community, featuring giveaways, performances, open gym, and meet-and-greet opportunities with coaches and staff. Location: Gyminny Kids La Jolla (Inside Westfield UTC Mall) 4313 La Jolla Village DR, Suite 3270, San Diego, CA 92122 Contact: Email: info@gyminnykidslajolla.com Website: www.GyminnyKids.com Socials: Facebook / YouTube / Instagram About Gyminny Kids Gyminny Kids is a family-owned gymnastics organization founded in 1987 in San Diego, California. With a mission of "fun and fitness for all ages," Gyminny Kids combines athletic excellence, emotional development, and character-building in a safe, fun, and inclusive environment. The company currently operates five locations throughout San Diego County and is recognized nationally as a model for community-based youth development. Unlike most children's activity centers that rely on short-term or seasonal staffing, Gyminny Kids is built on a team of career professionals—dedicated coaches, office associates, and managers who have made youth development their life's work. Many team members have been with the company for five to ten years, and three employees have served for over thirty years. This level of retention is virtually unheard of in the industry. It is a major reason families experience such consistent excellence, warmth, and care the moment they enter.

This free event is open to the community, but please RSVP by emailing info@gyminnykidslajolla.com with the number of attendees and the 30-minute time frame you would like to attend within the 1-5 p.m. time slot. Thank you.
