About this Event
FLOR (Flamenco & Its Origins) is Maine’s first and only nonprofit organization dedicated to flamenco. FLOR’s mission is to foster artistic, cultural, and community stewardship through the art of flamenco. The Cuadro Flamenco—FLOR’s professional ensemble—brings together the essential elements of flamenco: guitar, dance, and song. The ensemble celebrates both the deep-rooted traditions and the evolving contemporary expressions of the art form, with a focus on the interplay between these elements and their shared capacity for soulful expression.
Lindsey Bourassa, Principal Dancer and Director of FLOR
Lindsey is a flamenco dancer, choreographer, teacher, and community builder. She is the founding-director of Lindsey Bourassa Flamenco, co-founder of Olas Music and Dance, and founding executive and artistic director of FLOR. Lindsey received her Master of Flamencology Degree from Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain) in 2019 and her Certificate of Professionalization in Flamenco Arts at El Centro de Arte y Flamenco de Sevilla (Seville, Spain) in 2012. She has dedicated herself to the study of flamenco since 2004, predominantly in Sevilla, Spain. Having performed and taught in Spain and throughout New England, she has now settled in her home state of Maine, where her heart feels full to be creating and cultivating Maine’s first prominent and growing flamenco community. Her work on all fronts is inspired by the belief that art ignites magic, cultivates connection, uplifts diverse and uncensored stories, and fosters stewardship of each other and the earth.
