This creative programming series is typical only of nonprofit Flamenco Fever. “The Residency’ and ‘Flamenco de Mayo’ bridge the access gap between traditional flamenco performances in formal venues and economically diverse local audiences who customarily have limited or no access to such venues. These family-friendly events provide beginning flamenco dancers, singers, and guitarists a relaxed atmosphere to perform and learn from more experienced artists,” said Julia Alcántara, founder of Ida y Vuelta Flamenco Dance Company.
