This year Flamenco Vivo’s Artist Development Series brought together seven dancers from all over the U.S. in order to focus on deeper learning within the flamenco art form. With virtual classes ranging from a study of the flamenco palos, dance structure and movement analysis to one-on-one mentorships with established international artists, this year-long intensive series provides developing artists with integral tools necessary to prepare for a professional flamenco practice.
