Watch Patricia Edvardsson dance flamenco and tell us more about the dance as an art form in the clip.

Patricia Edvardsson started Bailando Studios in Karlstad almost 20 years ago, where they teach flamenco and Spanish dances.

Now the time has come to organize a flamenco festival.

The culture, dance and activity association in Värmland arranges the festival with the help of, among others, Region Värmland and Karlstad municipality.

Värmland is offered flamenco dancing throughout the week in Karlstad and Sunne.

The festival runs between August 15-21 and Värmland is offered a cultural exchange with Spanish youth, free lessons and visiting flamenco dancers and flamenco musicians.

A nursing home at Rud in Karlstad will also be visited by dancers.
