Museo del Baile Flamenco, Flamenco dance museum in Seville, Spain.
The Museo del Baile Flamenco is a dance museum in Seville housed in a historic building with a traditional Andalusian interior courtyard. The space contains several rooms displaying costumes and instruments alongside video presentations, plus a hall with a professional stage for live performances.
The museum was founded in 2006 by renowned dancer Cristina Hoyos to preserve and present the history of flamenco dance. It opened when the art form was gaining international recognition and was approaching recognition as world heritage.
The name of this dance form draws from Arabic and Hebrew roots, reflecting the long Arab presence in Andalusia. Visitors can observe how this art form has always brought together people from different backgrounds through movement and emotion.
The building sits centrally in the old town and is easy to reach on foot, with accessible entry and rest areas between rooms. Plan to spend about two to three hours to view all the exhibitions and possibly catch a live performance.
The museum houses an underground performance hall built with Roman stones that extends beneath a historic house. This subterranean space creates an unusual intimacy between dancers and spectators found nowhere else in the city.
