Bring us to your school or Uni with our FLAMENCO SI – Arts Education Program

“Flamenco Si” Lecture Demonstration Performances (Flamenco incursion) introduce the Art of Flamenco through explanations and demonstrations of Flamenco’s intricacies and cultural history, a wonderful blend of entertainment and education for children of all ages.

We discuss how the Flamenco music, Flamenco song and Flamenco dance all relate to each other with demonstrations of the varied Flamenco instruments and techniques involved in the Flamenco art form: castañuelas (castanets), Flamenco guitarra (guitar), Flamenco cante (song), and Flamenco dance (Baile). Audience participation is a vital aspect of the show, which ends with a Q & A.

”Flamenco Si ” In-School Educational Program
Our In-School Educational Program features multi-week, community-based educational residencies teaching Spanish history, culture and language using flamenco dance as the focal point, and are accompanied by curriculum materials. Age-specific residencies for grades K–12 are taught by teaching Flamenco artists, include a Flamenco guitarist and Flamenco singer and final student performance. Additional activities include Flamenco lecture demonstrations, participatory family or student Flamenco workshops, and Flamenco master classes.

What does a typical incursion day involve?

Our Flamenco Sí Incursion runs for 60–75 minutes and combines live performance, lecture demonstration, cultural education, Spanish language learning, and an interactive workshop all rolled into one engaging experience.

Students are introduced to the history and origins of Flamenco, learning about its cultural significance and evolution through live demonstrations by professional artists. Throughout the session, students experience a combination of:

• Live Flamenco dance and music demonstrations
• Introduction to Spanish language vocabulary and commonly used Flamenco terminology
• Interactive participation using traditional Flamenco props such as castanets, fans, and shawls
• Learning basic Flamenco technique and a short choreography sequence
• Understanding how a live Flamenco performance works through demonstrations and explanations from musicians and dancers

The program is highly interactive, and students are encouraged to participate throughout the experience.

Key learning experiences for students

Students engage with multiple learning outcomes, including:

• Introduction to the Spanish language and vocabulary
• Hands-on Flamenco dance workshop
• Learning about Spanish history, culture, and traditions
• Understanding Flamenco as a unique cultural art form combining music, rhythm, movement, and storytelling

• • Exposure to live performance practice and performing arts education

FLAMENCO SI –In-School Educational Program:

Beyond the incursion, we also offer extended in-school Flamenco programs.

These programs are designed in consultation with schools and tailored specifically to meet educational goals.

For example:

• A multi-week Flamenco workshop program for a selected student cohort
• Teaching students choreography over a series of workshops
• Supporting students to perform at a major school event such as Harmony Week, Cultural Celebrations, Assemblies or School Performances

These longer-term programs are customised according to each school’s needs.

We believe Flamenco offers students a unique opportunity to engage with language, culture, movement, music and creative expression in a highly interactive and memorable way.

“Beautiful performance of the Pepa Molina Company in the XII Meeting of Spanish teachers of NSW. It was a luxury for assistant teachers to enjoy their dance 5 meters away. The first approach to flamenco dancing for some. For the most knowledgeable, a performance at the highest level.”

Cristina Del Alamo – Spanish Education Advisor NSW Department of Education & Education Office/Embassy of Spain (Centro de Recursos Alejandro Malaspina) 2017

“Pepa is a celebrated flamenco dancer but she’s also an excellent teacher. The Flamenco Si Lecture demo gave my students a chance to experience Spanish culture through flamenco – baile y cante. The language is embedded in her lecture & performance. the students thoroughly enjoyed the history, the dance demonstration and not to mention the world-class performance. I thoroughly recommend this for any teachers looking for a piece of Spain to bring into their school and classroom.”
