April 29 is International Dance Day. A date that UNESCO chose to celebrate a universal art that crosses cultures, borders, and centuries. And in Madrid, there is a place where this art is not celebrated with institutional events — it is celebrated live, on the stage, just a few meters away from you.
Tablao Flamenco 1911 has been the stage for Spain’s best male and female dancers for over a century. If you are looking for plans for Dance Day in Madrid, here dance is not a concept — it is what happens every night.

At Tablao Flamenco 1911 we have had the privilege of hosting not only the purest flamenco but also the Escuela Bolera, one of the most refined and lesser-known forms of Spanish dance for the general public. Two different languages, the same cultural root.
If you want to better understand the relationship between these two disciplines, we invite you to discover what Escuela Bolera is and why it is part of the heritage of Spanish dance.
In 1982, the International Theatre Institute of UNESCO chose April 29 as International Dance Day as a tribute to Jean-Georges Noverre, the creator of modern ballet. Since then, every year the world celebrates dance in all its forms — classical, contemporary, folkloric, and also flamenco.
Because flamenco is dance. One of the oldest, most complex, and most exciting that exist.
If you are in Madrid on April 29 and want to experience it as it deserves, Tablao Flamenco 1911 proposes a special night with one of its best casts of artists. Live dance, singing, and guitar, in a historic space that the Madrid City Council recognized in 2026 with the Madrid Memory Plaque.
It is not a tribute to dance. It is dance.
An intimate night with top-tier dancers
The oldest tablao in the world, active since 1911

Among all the plans for International Dance Day in Madrid, there is a difference between seeing dance and feeling it. At Tablao Flamenco 1911, the reduced capacity places the audience just a few meters from the stage. There are no screens, no intermediaries. Only artists who have spent their whole lives dedicated to an art that the entire world celebrates on April 29.
A date like this deserves something more than a YouTube video.
Seats for special dates sell out in advance. If you want to secure your place to celebrate Dance Day in Madrid, we recommend booking ahead.
