Pasion Y Arte

For the last twenty years, 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 nine 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.
