Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana: The Soul Of Flamenco

Founded in 1983, Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana is one of America’s premier flamenco companies with home bases in New York City and Durham, NC.

We serve more than 40,000 people nationwide each year through far-reaching programs that entertain, educate and empower.

Our mission is to promote flamenco as a living art form and a vital part of Hispanic heritage; produce and perform high quality dance works; provide arts education programs that catalyze connections among young people; and nurture the next generations of Spanish dance artists and educators.

We believe that the universal spirit of flamenco – with diverse influences from Arab, Jewish, Roma, Spanish, and Latin American cultures – gives this art form a unique power to build bridges between people.
