Based in Santa Fe, NM Inspiración Flamenca, is a dynamic troupe of internationally trained professional flamenco dancers and musicians. Flamenco at its core is expression of the human condition in all states: from blissful to somber, and profound to facetious. As such it reaches the passionate love of life that all cultures share. Through flamenco we can build connections that transcend everyday boundaries. Our company’s mission is to celebrate the community nature of flamenco and share its rich
and diverse heritage with audiences everywhere.

Inspiración Flamenca’s productions are exuberant expressions of the human spirit and celebrations of humanity. We have performed in New Mexico and Georgia since our inception in January, 2008, and are scheduled to appear in Mexico and West Virginia.
