"I knew I had a lot more to learn to improve my knowledge of Bulerias por Solea beyond a choreography.. I was so happy to see the class offered and there was no hesitation to sign up. I learned so much and found myself re-watching multiple times to catch all the details taught. My favorite part of the class is how Manuel explains a code or possibility then demonstrates it via different scenarios. I'm a visual learner so this is priceless for me. Manuel es un Tesoro de Maestro. Gracias!!!"
Helena Pietrusiewicz Nunez, USA
"This was wonderful! Great explanation of what is happening between musicians and dancer, how who is leading changes, what the "codes" are. This is rarely taught in classes here in the US! Thanks so much for this offering."
Lisa, USA
"The lessons are wonderful, the format and teaching method are so clear - well done to everyone involved for creating such a fantastic resource, it is absolute gold!"
Serena Joy, Australia
"There is so much information that would benefit all students and I urge all students to look carefully at these MAESTROS Flamenco online courses and the zoom courses. They are phenomenal. They are so well organized and prepared, and that makes a BIG difference to the students' assimilation. AND the maestros are all amazing. They are experts, yes, but they are also respected professionals who are actively performing internationally and have the pulse of the current flamenco scene. Secondly, the courses focus exactly on what the student needs by addressing the most important points often overlooked elsewhere... the UNDERSTANDING, the communications, the differences, the nuances, and the interpretation of the palo. These courses enable students to be more deliberate and confident in their dancing, not just imitate or copy choreographies. The MAESTROS courses are a GOLD MINE of flamenco information. Regardless of your skill level or your goal, they should be the basis for your flamenco library. For me personally, they are a joy to experience. First class all the way! "
