Upcoming Performances
Directed by Adair Landborn, the Peña Flamenca de Tucson presents flamenco's artistry and social practices through formal and informal performances of traditional flamenco song and dance. "Peña" means "social club." As a flamenco social club serving the community of Tucson, our goal is to nurture individual wellness and build community connections by sharing with audiences the pleasures of social interaction and the excitement of artistic development that are at the heart of the flamenco experience.
