Flamenco’s Next Generation: Maria Benitez Youth Dance Troupe

Event Description

Flamenco's Next Generation (FNG) is the Institute for Spanish Arts' dynamic youth company of local dancers and guitarists. Formed in 2002 by focused, disciplined, and committed young students, FNG is now into their 10th year as a youth Flamenco company. This Santa Fe youth flamenco group strives not only to perform at the highest possible level but also to give back to their community with the same passion. Working closely with Maria Benitez to further their skills in flamenco dance, the group has performed for local communities to bring the passion of Spanish Dance to New Mexico’s Capitol. FNG boasts a very impressive resume including performances for former Governor Bill Richardson, the New Mexico in session Senate and numerous other private events. The group has and continues to perform in summer season Sunday Matinees at the Lodge at Santa Fe since 2004.
