We're all going to the DC Flamenco festival at Lisner in February. But you hardcore flamencos will also want to include a roadtrip or two for some of the concerts in the NY Flamenco festival around the same time.

Yup, I got rid of the splash page--which was visually appealing but not very helpful for improving my search engine rankings. So from now on, when you type in "dcflamenco.com" you are taken directly to the webpage you see now, not the one pictured above. But if you miss the old splash page already, you can still see it here.

I used to do a major redesign of the DC Flamenco website every year around this time. (for nostalgia, checkout this version from 1999) But nowadays I just make small changes throughout the year. Just a reminder that I'm always open to ideas to make this site better for you. Please email me your thoughts. Thanks!

I'm testing Google's Custom Search Engine for this site. See left column under "Search DCFlamenco."
