The performance was fantastic! The materials provided were extremely helpful. It made it very easy to teach students about the origin of the flamenco dance and Spain's culture. I learned a lot in the process as well. The students were very excited before and after the performance... My compliments to the performers for their enthusiasm and wonderful performance.

Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana offers Lecture/Demonstrations and School Performances—a great blend of entertainment and education. Performances are customizable for all grade levels Kindergarten through High School.

Our professional dancers and musicians in colorful, traditional flamenco costumes perform for your students, discuss the intricacies of flamenco dance, song, and cultural history. Audience participation is encouraged.

The troupe consists of at least two dancers, a singer and a guitarist. One of the dancers is also a trained Teaching Artist who engages the audience and explains the various parts of the program.

Students are introduced to the rhythms and emotions of flamenco, its origins in Southern Spain, and its multicultural influences: Andalusian, Gypsy, North African, Arabic and Judaic and Latin American.

During the program, students listen to the castañuelas (castanets), the taconeo (footwork), and the palmas (rhythmic hand claps). The Artists demonstrate dances and songs spanning a range of emotions from joy to sorrow, anger to exuberance.
