Thank you so much for being a member of our community!

Flamenco Vivo relies on people just like you to fund everything from performances to classes, to education programs through donations.

YOUR donation will help students like Jade, a New York City high school student who told us her very first experience with flamenco helped her to:

“feel comfortable in my own body and showing me that if I put my mind to something I can achieve it… These classes have given us an opportunity to connect with each other during a time where everyone feels so far apart.”

Help ensure that young imaginations are ignited and life skills are built through expansive education programs.

FUN FACT

FROM OUR AFICIÓN SERIES

According to Carmen Ledesma, what type of shoes does a flamenco dancer need to wear?

None! Dancing at home is part of flamenco culture. Despite all the fancy footwork and technique that many artists display, she says a real flamenco dancer should be able to dance in house slippers. And to prove this to her students, Carmen Ledesma once performed at a Peña in Spain wearing plush leopard house slippers! She says her brother thought it was such an amazing moment in her career that he still has the slippers in his house. He shows them to everyone who visits with pride, laughing at Carmen’s larger than life personality while in awe of her artistry.

Flamenco legend Farruquito clearly agrees, and has been known to take off his shoes mid-performance to dance barefoot.
