Celebrating its fifth edition, the Dutch Flamenco Biennial will bring the vanguard of contemporary flamenco to the Netherlands from 16 January until 3 February 2015. For the fifth time, the leading biennial music and dance festival will present the latest developments in flamenco and feature maverick makers, big stars and upcoming talent.

In sparkling rhythms and passionate song and dance, a new crop of flamenco makers explore the boundaries of the ancient flamenco art and bring tradition and experiment together in extraordinary concerts and performances. They form creative alliances and cross-fertilise with jazz, contemporary dance and music, baroque music, Indian and oriental music. This year, the festival travels to five cities: Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and Eindhoven. Over forty dance performances and concerts during Flamenco Biennial are rounded with an extensive programme of master classes, workshops, lectures, films and documentaries, two photography exhibitions in Huis Marseille Amsterdam (Dancing Light) en Instituto Cervantes Utrecht (Un patrimonio con duende), flamenco dinners, shows for children and after-parties.
