Vivo Flamenco Carlota Santana, Flamenco and Spanish Dance Company

Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana is one of the nation's premier flamenco and Spanish dance companies heading into our 30th Anniversary Season. We believe that the universal spirit of flamenco, a multicultural art form, has the power to build bridges between cultures and inspire audiences from diverse backgrounds. Artistic Director Carlota Santana leads this company of energetic dancers and musicians in:
powerful performances, extensive community outreach and innovative arts education programs.

Founded in 1983 as Spanish Dance Arts Company, Carlota Santana and Roberto Lorca had a mission to bring flamenco to mainstream audiences. Mr. Lorca passed away in 1987, an untimely casualty of the AIDS epidemic, but Ms. Santana was determined to carry on his work. Since then Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana has grown into one of the leading flamenco companies in the United States with a mission to:
              • Promote flamenco as a living art form, a vital part of Hispanic Heritage
              • Create quality new dance works and present them in major theatrical venues 
              • Present arts education programs that catalyze connections among people of different cultures
              • Nurture the next generation of Spanish dance artists
