Our Vision
Who we are:
We are a center for Flamenco art in the heart of Downtown, Albuquerque dedicated to providing access to high quality classes and performance for all members of our community.
Flamenco Works’ mission is to empower youth to reach their fullest potential through Flamenco education and to create visceral, cutting-edge Flamenco art through their resident company, Jesús Muñoz Flamenco.
