7th Annual PyA Conservatory Showcase & Fundraiser

Pasión y Arte is a non-profit flamenco dance company whose mission is to treasure the traditions of classical flamenco while seeking to expand the art form in new and modern ways. Funds raised during the 7th Annual PyA Conservatory Showcase & Fundraiser will go towards PyA's 2018 general operation costs, scholarship funds, and the continued development of a new choreographic work by Artistic Director Elba Hevia y Vaca.

For more than a decade, Pasión y Arte, Philadelphia’s premier all female contemporary flamenco dance company under the direction of Artistic Director, Elba Hevia y Vaca, has been embracing artistic excellence in performance, education and community engagement focused on modern feminist flamenco. Pasion y Arte continues to strengthen flamenco’s legacy as a classical form but expands the trajectory of modern feminist flamenco through its conservatory classes, performances, and national tours. In six original productions and its presentation of the 2012 and 2014 Philadelphia Flamenco Festivals, PyA empowers women through self-expression by embracing bold experimentation that challenges traditional flamenco gender stereotypes.
