About

Our Mission

For over 40 years,

Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre has created and presented original flamenco works that express and help us process our times. Founding Artistic Director Susana di Palma’s unique artistic vision has expanded upon the flamenco tradition to create provocative theater works that have explored diverse themes.

The future is bright

With a new board of directors and renewed commitment to Susana di Palma’s artistic vision, Zorongo is moving into the future with three upcoming new works that will continue Zorongo’s legacy of taking on socially-relevant themes:

Conference of the Birds, with its message of transcendence based on the 12th century Persian poem by Attar;
Decameron Reunion, a post-pandemic celebration starring international cast members from Zorongo’s innovative, virtual pandemic project, Decameron 20:20; and
Amor de Dios, an exploration of the intersections between Spain’s Franco-era stolen babies and the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.

Fostering Connection

Our school builds community around this beautiful, communal art form. Our classes include diverse students of all ages and abilities coming together to learn and participate together in a supportive community, celebrating our individuality while creating a sense of belonging. Our studio is a vibrant space, hosting not only classes but also studio concerts, student showings, educational events, and guest artist workshops, all of which reach across and bring together the wider community.

Please donate

Now more than ever we need art that questions, explores, expresses, and connects us. Please support our work by making a donation to Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre.

Thank you

Artistic Director Susana di Palma, the new Board of Directors, and all of our artists and teachers want to thank you for supporting our mission and for being an essential part of the Zorongo Flamenco family.
