Overview
Mission
Flamenco Fever presents high-quality educational activities in Dallas and throughout Texas, reaching underserved neighborhoods with our belief that all should have access to participate, learn, and rap the mental, physical, and spiritual rewards that music and dance provide.
What it reported doing in 2025
The 10th annual Paella y Pasion is a FREE daytime outdoor community event that combines cooking demonstrations and performances by local Spanish/Latin music and dance acts. The showcase featuring local artists, students from La Cantera and international professionals is fun for the whole family. Paella, other tapas and snacks, beer and sangria are sold to support the cause. P&P bridges the divide between famenco performances in formal theaters and economically diverse local audiences who have limited or no access to such venues. This fundraise for La Cantera Arts Conservatory includes families that span multiple generations.
