One of the smallest and most intimate of Seville's tablaos, the Flamenco Dance Museum or "Museo del Baile Flamenco" was founded by Cristina Hoyos, the most awarded flamenco dancer and choreographer of all time. It was constructed within an 18th-century palace house in Seville, which was built atop a Roman temple's ruins from centuries ago.
The rich history of the structure is preserved in the museum, alongside the equally rich culture of flamenco that is on display. The venue hosts regular flamenco shows post-museum hours throughout the week, with a main event in the Ecijan-style patio tablao and an exclusive acapella flamenco in the VIP basement tablao.

About Flamenco Dance Museum Seville
- The Flamenco Dance Museum in Seville hosts extremely limited, intimate performances after the museum closes for the day. The main stage is in the courtyard. A second tablao is in the basement vault and hosts VIP shows exclusively.
- With a capacity of only about 45, there are no bad seats in the patio tablao. Every seat is a stage front seat that gives you a clear sightline of the performance.
- The front seats are extremely immersive, making you feel like you're in the spotlight yourself. They don't have much legroom or space.
- The rear and side seats have more room but are slightly less immersive.
- The basement tablao is a smaller venue with a capacity of less than 30. It hosts acapella flamenco shows, among other premium performances.
