About the Company
Bailes Ferrer was founded in 1995 by Damaris I. Ferrer as a way to bring the art of Flamenco music and dance to Florida. The company premiered its first concert in April 1996 after receiving a grant from the Broward Cultural Affairs Council and since then has continued to receive grants for their work. The word "Bailes" means dances, which opens up the company's spectrum so it is not limited only to Flamenco. The company began working on collaborative projects with various artists and has opened their doors to whoever wanted to collaborate and create multi cultural projects and bring these functions to Florida audiences. Programs such as concerts, workshops, festivals and lecture demonstrations have allowed the company to reach audiences both young and old throughout Florida.

Bailes Ferrer has not only presented Flamenco but has been successful in creating multi-cultural works with artists combining the art of Flamenco with Classical, Tango, Middle-Eastern and jazz disciplines. Our collaborations with artists from other disciplines have made us known in the community as a company that presents multi-cultural and diverse concerts at a high professional level.

Mission
Our mission is to be a part of cultural growth in our community. Bailes Ferrer will make a difference within a community of dispersed artists by bringing those artists together whenever possible for collaborative efforts. To create works that will benefit the community and its artists by making the development of cultural arts an everyday occurrence, not just a seasonal one in our community.
