Casa Patas Flamenco Foundation was created in 2000 with the aim

of becoming an institution where all the activities related to the teaching,

investigation and promotion of the Flamenco singing, guitar playing and

dancing were put together, as well as promoting Spanish culture and

gastronomy as a World Cultural Heritage (UNESCO). The objectives are

set in the Foundation rules as it follows:

It is the aim of the Foundation to teach, spread,

disclose and promote Flamenco in every single way

through music, dance and folk songs of the Spanish

people, from its diverse gastronomy and culture.´

But our objectives go much further. We work in order to create a meeting

place where all the Flamenco disciplines are included. To provide a pla-

tform to encourage those starting Flamenco expressions and to spread

Flamenco among professionals and the general public. By offering qua-

lity training, combining global knowledge and specialization. By gene-

rating a discussion forum where tradition, new trends and perspectives

are tackled. By promoting a cultural exchange among students, teachers

and lectures in different parts of Spain, and around the world. Giving

to the entire community, unexposed to the rich heritage of Flamenco,

openning doors to a cultural expression of great impact.
