💃Hear from Maitri Acharya about her Certamen Experience!💃

"I had the privilege of competing in the 2025 Flamenco Vivo Certamen Competition Estudio Level and was grateful to receive a scholarship to continue my training in Sevilla. I now see that the competition was not an endpoint, but the beginning of new opportunities and artistic growth. The experience encouraged me to think more broadly about my path, take creative risks, and pursue further development as an artist.In the months that followed, I applied for local arts programs and am fortunate to be selected for the Durham Arts Council Emerging Artist Grant and the NC Dance Festival Artist-in-Residence Program.

The momentum I gained through Certamen continues to shape my work. It has given me a renewed sense of purpose as I continue to train, create, and share my work with others."
