“Flamenquería” is an international cultural center for flamenco art in Moscow (Russia) and Seville (Spain); its history began in 2008 when it was founded as a dance school in Moscow.
Our main objective is the popularization and promotion of flamenco culture through its different aspects: dance, music, theater and cinema.
On 16 November 2010 Flamenco was designated World Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO
The opening ceremony of the House of Flamenco “Flamenquería” took place in 2011, with the presence of Javier Larrache, cultural advisor of the Embassy of Spain.
"The House of Flamenco " Flamenquería" is a real cultural center, essential to promote the culture of Spain in Russia and to foster relations between the two countries," said Mr. Larrache at the ceremony.
The House of Flamenco "Flamenquería" is a modern three-story building that has everything you need to carry out all kinds of events at a high level: 5 rehearsal dance halls with a shock absorbing floor, a theater with a capacity 250 people with the acoustic floor (ideal for flamenco), several classrooms, massage, service rooms and, of course, Flamenco Fashion House (La Casa de la Moda Flamenca).
Our Spanish branch Flamenqueria Sevilla, is located in the very heart of Andalusia, in the legendary Sevillian district called Triana, where flamenco was born. The windows of the school overlook the Guadalquivir river and the orange trees ...
"Flamenqueria Sevilla" develops its work in two main directions:
-The Dance School: teaching of dance, guitar, percussion, flamenco theory for dancers and musicians of all professional levels; we also offer our students an opportunity to experience the tablao stage
-The “Orillas de Triana” Flamenco Tablao (“Orillas de Triana” Flamenco Cultural Association): performances, shows and concerts by great flamenco artists. In 2017 and 2019 the tablao was awarded The Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor
Since 2020 “Flamenquería Sevilla” offers a series of transmissions of Tablaos online, accessible to the public anywhere in the world.
“Flamenquería” organizes different projects and performances with the participation of flamenco artists for all kinds of events; it also offers its dance halls and rooms for rehearsals, conferences and concerts.
Our featured project is the “¡Viva España!” Festival, the largest flamenco event in the entire territory of Russia and the countries of the former CIS and the Baltic States. Thanks to the celebration of this festival, Russian spectators enjoy the best shows of the masters of the flamenco world of Spain. It was launched in 2004, it obtained international status in 2005. From 2011 until today, it has been organized by The House of Flamenco “Flamenquería”.
To support Russian artists, we organize the “Golden Kentavride” Contest for adult artists and the “Flamenkita” Children's Festival, within the framework of the Viva España Festival.
