The Company
The Arte Flamenco Dance Theatre, was created in 1989 by Clarita, "La Clara". It is a fifteen member company consisting of eleven dancers and four musicians. The company performs rarely seen and presents beautiful renditions of spanish classical/regional folk dances, and also a passion filled, fiery presentation of Flamenco dance.

Arte Flamenco's musicians, consist of four (4) outstanding and highly accomplished professionals. Each, on his own, has several CD's on the market which are also distributed internationally. They have performed with Tony Bennett, John Tesh, and Struntz & Farah. These musicians have also created music for other dance companies such as the Joffrey Ballet and LINES Dance Company.

Arte Flamenco's Dancers are highly trained professionals with extensive dance backgrounds. They have all studied in Spain with leading Flamenco and Spanish Classical teachers; Paco Romero, Juana Amaya, Maria Magdalena and Merche Esmeralda. All of this talent comes together on stage creating a powerful display of the dance.

Based in Los Angeles, California, the company has performed in universities throughout the United States, including the University of Tennessee, University of Kentucky, University of Idaho, and Boise State University, just to name a few. Arte Flamenco has also performed at various festivals such as "Art on the Green in Coeur d'Alene" and many others throughout the United States.
