Come learn the beauty and art of Flamenco from the experts.

Both have studied under great masters of the art and are recognized performing artists and experts in the Flamenco community today.
Regardless of the constant commercialization and modernization of Flamenco, Mamma Flamenca and La Hija Flamenca (as affectionately called by their many students) strive to preserve the authenticity of Flamenco and to present Flamenco to the public as the gypsies of Andalucia intended Flamenco to be. To learn true Flamenco...not only as the dance that it is, but also as a way of life...this Flamenco family invites you to come observe a class or try one out at no expense. We invite you to experience first-hand what it is that sets Del Espadín Flamenco & Spanish Dance Academy apart from all others!
