Keenly aware of the
close historical bond between Spain and the Philippines, considering
the 400 years of Spanish colonization, the Fundacion Centro
Flamenco aspires to celebrate the rich heritage gained from this relationship by
creating a Center where teachers and musicians of Spanish music and
dance can share and promote the culture. It endeavors to preserve and
enhance the Spanish heritage of the Filipinos gained from their
relationship with Spain; celebrating these artistic influences in
each performance and demonstrating the unity in the mixture of
artistic tendencies between the two countries.
The Fundacion Centro Flamenco also encompasses boundaries between cultures and traditions and aims
to keep pace with the present trend of Flamenco, allowing innovative
styles in the dances and their interpretations without losing touch
with tradition and the captivating soul of Flamenco. It opens its doors to
foreign professors and established artists of Flamenco to share and
give workshops at the Center, encouraging interaction among local
and foreign teachers and students.
Above all, it is the groundwork for aspiring professionals and artists in the
Philippines, giving them the foundation and the necessary tools
towards higher pursuit in the art of Flamenco.
