PARTICIPATE

This is a project of the people, by the people, for the people of TC Flamenco community.  The best starting point to participate in this project is to attend Juan's classes (See class information).  He is offering 5 different classes on cante flamenco (Flamenco singing and songs) from June 3 to 17.  They are designed for dancers, guitarists, and aficionados of all levels  to learn more about cante. 

​

Also, don't miss to join our community gathering on June 8.  It is free (donation deeply appreciated) and more importantly fun!  Juan's interesting lecture on his Flamenco life followed by a fiesta.  How many times in a year do we get to have a Flamenco fiesta in TC?  We love fiestas!

 

If you are taking 5 or more classes with Juan, you have a ticket to perform in a street performance on June 10 and a professional performance at James Ballentine VFW on June 17.  It is a perfect opportunity for you to gain true Flamenco performance experiences implementing what you will learn with Juan. 

DONATE

Our residency project received a generous Community Arts Grant from Metropolitan Regional Arts Council.  However, we still need to raise funds equal to the grant amount.  Most of the expenses are due to the international travel cost and work permit (the airfare, visa application, etc.).  Please consider making a donation of  whatever amount to help us successfully implement this project.  Flamenco improves many people's lives in the Twin Cities.   The music and art excite many of us and we stay healthy through Flamenco.   Our mission is to bring the goodness of Flamenco to our community directly from Spain.  We deeply appreciate your support.  

VOLUNTEER AND TAKE JUAN'S CLASS IN EXCHANGE

We would appreciate your help to volunteer and successfully implement our programs.  In return, we will waive your fee to take Juan's class according to the hours you give.  Tasks vary including class registration, communication, social media, etc.  If you are interested, please email to twincitiesflamenco@gmail.com.  Everyone is welcome but we would like to especially invite people with economic disadvantage and people who otherwise could not study with Juan.  

ABOUT TWIN CITIES FLAMENCO COLLECTIVE

 

The mission of the Twin Cities Flamenco Collective (TCFC) is to bring the essence of authentic and traditional flamenco, especially the aspect of Cante (flamenco singing and songs), to the Twin Cities through education, community activities and performances.  In the past, TCFC brought Flamenco puro artists such as festero Javier Heredia from Seville, Spain for workshops and performances.  TCFC has offered a free flamenco community event “Learn about Cante Flamenco” in which guest speakers have shared their knowledge and experiences about cante and Flamenco as a way of life.  

 

Flamenco in its roots is an improvised communication and exchange of emotions between musicians and dancers through music.  It is also a culture and way of life for many people in Andalusia.

 

TCFC received a Metropolitan Regional Arts Council Community Arts grant in order to bring a Flamenco artist for educational programs on cante.  We are fortunate and excited that maestro Juan del Gastor agreed to come all the way from Seville to share his expertise and Flamenco experiences with us.  

​

The purpose of this program is not only to educate ourselves about cante Flamenco with Juan but also to experience Flamenco as part of our daily life, as we were in the heart of Andalusia.
