Alianza Flamenca is a international non-profit association, which has been formed to develop and encourage a broader understanding of the art of flamenco, particularly flamenco dancing.
 
History
Alianza Flamenca was founded in Johannesburg in 1994 by a group of experienced flamenco dance teachers who found there was a need for a specialized flamenco dance training method in South Africa.
The Syllabus Coordination Committee (a panel of four experts in the art of flamenco) set about designing a syllabus, which would enable students to practice this art form and to be able to travel to Spain and take part in master classes, armed with a sound knowledge of flamenco rhythms, styles and techniques.
The Alianza Flamenca Management Committee was then formed to run the association.
In 1995, the syllabus was implemented and taught in various dance studios in South Africa and Greece.
Through the years Alianza Flamenca has invited various world-renowned maestros, such as Manolo Marin, La Tati and Domingo Ortega, to teach and inspire students and young teachers of flamenco.
Since it’s inception, Alianza has staged various productions and held teacher’s courses to enhance the standard of teaching within the association.
The Alianza Flamenca training method continues to grow internationally, now reaching as far as Australia, Malta and the UK.
Currently, a Board of Artistic Directors has been appointed and the Syllabus Coordination Committee has been broadened to include members from branches worldwide.
