What you need to know
- Two workshop times, 8 pm and 9:30 pm, so you can skip the early crowds.
- No dance experience needed, kids learn moves alongside parents who grew up on this music.
- Hairstyling station included, so the kids walk out with a proper 50s quiff to show off.
About
CaixaForum closes its summer nights with an evening of rock 'n' roll. The one to circle for families is the free dance workshop in the entrance hall: two 30-minute sessions at 8 pm and 9.30 pm, open to everyone, solo or in pairs, no experience needed, just turns, bounces and a lot of energy. Next to it, a 50s hairstyling station runs from 7.30 to 10 pm, so the kids can get the quiff before they hit the floor. Concerts carry the rest of the night: Doc & The Mads play 50s rock and rhythm and blues in the entrance patio at 7.30 and 10 pm, Velvet Candles sing doo-wop harmonies at 8.15 and 9.30 pm, Mario Cobo tours the roots of rock guitar at 8.45 pm, and La Perra Blanco's explosive rockabilly closes in the auditorium from 10 to 11 pm (€9, and well past most bedtimes). The exhibitions and a calm space stay open until 11 pm.
