By keeping with traditional values based in family, community and providing an open door of learning opportunity to the next generation of local youth, we seek to preserve the roots of a World Heritage artform known as Flamenco. Through performance as well as educational classes, the mission of Escuela de Ritmo is to share not only the traditional folk rhythms music and dance of Flamenco, but the Spanish Gypsy culture that has existed with it for hundreds of years.
