Preserving culture.
Expanding access.

Flamenco belongs
in every classroom.
We are proving it.

The Raíces pilot at Markham Elementary served over 120 students — bringing rumba flamenca, Sevillanas, and castanet training into the classroom for the first time. For many students, it was a moment of coming home — connecting to their heritage through movement, rhythm, language, and the specific dance styles, costumes, and music their families carry.

For others, it opened a door to a culture they had never known but instantly recognized as part of themselves. That sense of belonging — of being seen — is what Raíces is really about. In 2026, the program expands to at least two more Vacaville schools.
