KELIPÉ flamenco
arts center

The mark that define our Centre is the technique of improvisation. Complicated and always risky, but natural and spontaneous.

In the summer of 2001, the Legend of KELIPÉ is born, when, in the most “pure” and “authentic” neighbourhood of Málaga “La Cruz Verde”, open its doors to what was determined to be the first Centre of Flamenco Arts. Soon, the interest of the public woke up, at first as an academy (Dance, Guitar, Percussion), and later, a place of what would be a living legend, a new age for FLAMENCO in Málaga. Susana “La Yedra” (Dancer/Singer) started this adventure, creating a place of meeting for demanding fans of this Arts. The success of KELIPÉ was, to a large degree, consequence of fidelity and conviction for transmitting FLAMENCO from its essence, the simplicity, naturality, authenticity, … a heritage of, “The Time”. Through KELIPÉ big artists have passed, leaving a gran legacy and a footprint in the life of this Symbol of Flamenco, a legendary universe in Málaga,

KELIPÉ, The Arts of Living Flamenco.

After 21 years of history, experiences, and anecdotes, KELIPÉ, “imposes” , as one of the corners of “duende”, most famous and mythical thanks to its historic heritage, invaluable. KELIPÉ, is the sign of Flamenco in this city, making the difference.

Our way of understanding flamenco

…for us, FLAMENCO, is a way of life and a form of living, our roots, and “The History of our Culture”.

The School

Essentially, we transmit to our students by a practical mode and getting close to the culture and history that defines the gipsy people, through theoretic and practical workshops explaining how in our ethnicity we pass flamenco from father to son, and how the flamenco was never able to separate from the gipsies nor the gipsies from flamenco.

The Compas (rhythm), is fundamental in the moment of executing with precision: dance, singing, guitar and their corresponded techniques. In our classes and Work Shops (national or international), we emphasis the necessity and knowledge of this vital tool in order to translating it into “pellizco, duende and peso”.

From there we go on to the fundamental TECHNIQUE in dance (body, feet, hands) and the intention in the movement of each and every one of them, or the feeling that each expresses, in order to later bring it to practice.

The Choreography brings “staging” in it, which is evaluated and developed in the workshops. When the workshops are of guitar or percussion, the same method is modified and applied.
