November 16, International Flamenco Day, is a significant date at our conservatory. Since 2017, the month of November has been dedicated to promoting the values of flamenco, one of the defining symbols of our country’s cultural identity. Students, teachers, and accompanying instructors take part in a celebration that highlights the conservatory’s commitment to our cultural roots.
A video specially produced for this occasion is shared through social media, the conservatory’s website, and the media. It premieres at an event attended by some of the most prominent figures in flamenco. The video is not merely a promotional tool; it is an initiative that encourages enthusiasm for progress, opens the conservatory to the wider community, and motivates our students to improve year after year.
On International Flamenco Day, students showcase their artistry and progress on stage, performing choreographies created specifically for this occasion. This event connects the future of flamenco dance with renowned professionals such as Antonio Canales, Manuel and Antonio Reyes, María Pagés, La Popi, Antonio Márquez, Maribel Gallardo, Luis Ortega, Stella Arauzo, La Tati, and Mercedes Ruiz.
Furthermore, this commitment to promoting flamenco and pursuing excellence in flamenco education is closely linked to some of the most distinguished figures in the art form, who serve as patrons and mentors to successive generations of students. Antonio Canales, Merche Esmeralda, Blanca del Rey, El Güito, Manolete, La Tati, Manolo Marín, María Pagés, and the Antonio Gades Foundation are among the renowned artists and institutions that have supported and guided our students.
