Flamenco is an artistic expression that encompasses various disciplines. Its traditional form of learning has been oral transmission. That is why transmitting flamenco dance between generations is a way of learning and preserving it.
The transmission of flamenco dance between generations not only preserves our roots, but also enriches and revitalises the tradition. The new generations inherit the techniques and art of their predecessors.
They add their own interpretation and passion, thus creating a dynamic and lively link with flamenco.
