Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana is a New York-based performing arts company focused on flamenco. Founded in 1983, it aims to present flamenco as a living art form and an integral part of Hispanic heritage while producing and performing high-quality dance works. The organization reaches audiences nationwide, providing programs that entertain, educate, and empower more than 45,000 people each year. Its arts education initiatives connect young people with Spanish dance and foster the development of the next generation of artists and educators, reflecting flamenco's diverse cultural influences. With a relatively small to mid-sized staff, the company operates within the performing arts sector and serves educators, students, and broader communities through its programs. A concrete recent development is its September 2025 engagement at SPAC School of the Arts, where it led an Arts Around the World class introducing children to different nations through cultural activities, songs, dances, and performances. The programmatic emphasis on flamenco's Arab, Jewish, Gypsy, Spanish, and Latin American roots underscores its role in building cultural bridges through dance.
