Alma Flamenca (Flamenco Soul) is a newly founded tax-exempt, non-profit organization based in beautiful San Diego, California. Our mission is to present the rich art form of Flamenco through teaching and performing its dance, music, and Spanish-language singing. Alma Flamenca will broaden San Diego’s artistic horizon, serving as a hub in the community to share our Spanish heritage, by bringing the most talented local, national and international artists into a Flamenco ensemble. We strive to discover the innate profoundness in this art form and enrich our lives on many levels. Our goal is to make Flamenco more than just entertainment and inspire all members of the community to become a Flamenco enthusiast, especially the younger generations to fall in love with Flamenco and consider it as an artistic discipline. Our very first accomplishment consisted in establishing the Peña Flamenca Carmen Amaya. A “Peña Flamenca” is typically a Flamenco club, intended to host Flamenco oriented activities, such as concerts, recitals, juergas (Flamenco Parties), and other social gatherings. This venue was ambitioned as the perfect environment to enjoy Flamenco by eliminating restrictions and prerequisites, which is free of exclusiveness and discrimination. A membership is offered at a low monthly rate for adults. Discounts are available for Flamenco teachers and artists. Kids 18 and under can attend free of charge (17 and under should be accompanied by an adult).
