Our mission is to ignite our diverse communities' curiosity and passion about flamenco through presentations of exemplary flamenco artistic works and interactive, accessible education opportunities for children and adults with or without dance/ music backgrounds in Dallas. All of our events are intentionally bilingual, spoken in English and Spanish to engage and connect diverse individuals who will steadily become a strong cross-cultural flamenco community.
The Flame Foundation strives to present and design flamenco arts performances and outreach for multi-lingual, multiracial audiences ranging in age, social status, gender, sexual orientation, and citizenship status throughout Dallas communities.
