"Excellent material. What a luxury to have these explanations of how the bailaor, cantaor and guitarrista communicate, and how one can react to the cante variations and lead the dance. For a person like me, who has studied flamenco school outside Spain, this is precisely what a foreign teacher does not teach us, and what differentiates Flamenco from the street, from folklore, from the culture that comes from the Spanish soul. Infinite thanks for giving us the opportunity to learn these things from afar".!"
María V
(Translated from her Spanish words)
"I was fortunate to see Manuel dance Tangos live in the show VIVA. It was so earthy and playful and I had a big smile on my face the whole time watching him dance as he looked like he was having so much fun. Immediately I knew I had to study Tangos with him. The Maestros Flamenco class has helped me understand Tangos more so I can dance more confidently with the cante and begin to develop the earthy style I love watching so much. 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
"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! "
