The Flamenco Society of San José is dedicated to the promotion, education and presentation of flamenco in all its modes. Founded by Anita Sheer in 1982, we are in our 20th year of operation and continue to bring to the greater San Francisco Bay Area the best in Cante, Baile and Toque.
The education aspect of the Society is carried out by the Academy. Baile (dance) and Toque (guitar) classes are taught on a weekly basis at the Roundhill Dance Studio, 2890 Homestead Road in Santa Clara, California. The faculty includes Keni, El Lebrijano, Parker (Toque), and Mercedes Molina (Baile)
The Society also does presentations at public and private schools to introduce the youth of our community to the culture and music of Andalucia, Spain.
Our bi-monthly juergas (flamenco jam sessions) are showcases for established flamenco artists and for the students of the Flamenco Society Academy.
Juergas are presented at Le Petit Trianon on 72 N. Fifth Street in San José on the third Saturday of every other month. The shows start at 7:00 PM and usually last until 10:00 PM. The price of admission is $10.00 for the general public and $9.00 for students and seniors. During most juergas we have tapas available at a reasonable price.
The Society presents formal shows starring our own professional cuadro known as Flamenco Olé and national and international flamencos. In the past we have presented Sabicas, Carlos Montoya, Juan Serrano, Anita Sheer, José Greco, Los Romeros, Luisillo, La Tania, Yaelisa, José Galvan, Lara y Reyes, Sol y Luna, Amanda Pineda, Lourdes Rodriguez, and Strunz and Farah.
