2021 VASTA Virtual Conference: Special Performance- National Institute of Flamenco⠀ Although we weren’t able to meet in person in Albuquerque for this year’s conference, we are excited to share that the National Institute of Flamenco has⠀ created a special tablao performance just for VASTA! Streaming live on Friday July 30th.⠀ For more information, please visit https://buff.ly/3ekzZsm⠀ The nonprofit National Institute of Flamenco continues a 39-year legacy of providing world-class Flamenco dance and music, and giving people a window into⠀ a culture that enriches lives. The mission of the National Institute of Flamenco is to preserve and promote Flamenco’s artistry, history, and culture by⠀ presenting the finest Flamenco in the world and by educating the American family in this art form while emphasizing the positive influence of art on families⠀ and communities.⠀ The Institute serves New Mexican children and adults, with an emphasis on low- to moderate-income youth, and the broader flamenco communities of the United⠀ States and the world. The Institute empowers individuals. Historically, flamenco grew as a form of expression from a marginalized population. In this spirit,⠀ the Institute encourages students of all ages to undertake deep, innovative investigations and question contemporary issues.⠀ Visit https://buff.ly/3e0EaJz to learn more and register. #VirtualVasta21
