Passionate Stages: The Flamenco Festival

After last year's success, the Sevillanas Contest will return, featuring last year's champions, the Haruka Bonbon Sisters, and the sub-champions, Las Majas from Seisen Women's College. Top dancers who have graced the stage in previous events will also perform, showcasing the rich Spanish culture through flamenco, zarzuela, and Spanish guitar.

The climax of the two-day event will be the Special Flamenco Stage – Flamenco Night Fiesta, where performers will gather to deliver an exhilarating show. The stage will come alive with the sound of stomping feet and passionate expressions. Don’t miss this moment!

Celebrating 400 Years of Japan-Spain Relations
