why
flamenco?
“
I see such a different side of them… you really see certain kids just surprise you. They’re just so totally focused.”
Born from marginalized communities, flamenco’s history explores themes of immigrant life, oppression, pride, and injustice. The art form comprises music, dance, and song – presenting multiple entry points for young learners – while offering opportunities to improve literacy and communication, deepen cultural awareness, and support students voices giving them the confidence to articulate a full range of emotions.
