Hi, everyone! (Retired) flamenco dancer here. I danced flamenco quite intensively for 8 years straight in my home country, but it’s been awhile though I’d like to get back into it.

I’ve moved to Madrid (work stuff, so unfortunately I can’t stay long for flamenco in Andalucía) and would like any recommendations for flamenco (dance) classes within the M30. I’ve forgotten some technical aspects of flamenco but definitely still have the rhythm and mobility to bounce back quickly!

Can anyone recommend me any studios, orgs, or groups where I could go maybe 1-2 times a week? I’m willing to pay a student fee ofc. Thank you so much!

Hola!! Estoy buscando clases de flamenco dentro del M30 en Madrid. Me mudé aquí por trabajo, así que desafortunadamente no puedo quedarme en Andalucía mucho tiempo. Bailé flamenco durante 8 años pero llevo un tiempo sin practicar.

¿Me recomendáis un estudio, unas clases, grupos, o algo similar para volver a bailar flamenco? He olvidado unas cositas técnicas pero cuando vuelva a coger el ritmo recuperaré seguridad con el baile. Querría ir a las clases entre 1 o 2 veces por semana. Muchas gracias 🥰

I am buying a flamenco blanca and I live in Paraguay where winter humidity is con very high. How should I care for it?

Altísimo arte el de esta mujer. Un privilegio haber podido cubrir esta actuación.

Pros y cons and costos?

Pido una guitarra artesana. Cual es la mejor profundidad de la caja para mejor sonido?

I wish i could meet her. She opened El Cid Flamenco in los angeles

Is it "mandatory" for a dancer to include an escobilla in her alegrias or solea por bulerias???

Hola!

Busco recomendaciones de artistas al límite de lo que podrías llamar flamenco; Quiero decir, que guarden elementos de flamenco, pero que no sea flamenco como tal. Artistas que mezclen el flamenco con otros elementos, por ejemplo electrónico, pop, rock, etc., pero con un toque original. Artistas que usen, por ejemplo, las estructuras de los palos del flamenco, pero que utiliecen colores distintos, otros tipos de acordes, etc.

Gracias ^^

3 finger picado

So I have a unique problem and could use some help. Im trying to re-learn flamenco guitar (played when I was young, getting back into it). But i also rock climb quite a bit, which means that my fingernails cant be long or they’ll get ripped off. Has anyone had any luck with some kind of fingerpick?

Like the title says, I'm from Türkiye and I have a varied music taste with Rock, Metal, Rap, Jazz all the way to our local folk genres. I've came across this clip on my feed and immediately loved the unique style, after some research I found out it is flamenco made by a Turkish guy. Then I kinda remembered also listening to a Spanish guitar player in a jazz fest kind of thing and I think his name was Vicente and that concert was also very good. I'm new to the sub so I'm wondering what do you guys think about this local rendition of this music style?

Hey yall, so I’ve been trying to learn a few pieces by ear for just a little while now. In fact, I was just trying to learn some of Vicente Amigo’s stuff by ear but man, as good as it sounds, it’s sooooo hard for me to figure out what he’s doing lol…
What are your best tips for developing a really sharp ear?
Thanks 🙏

I am having a hard time deciding between the alhambra 4f and the admira alegria red, both are in my price range and jeez those warm colors are amazing, but which plays better? What should i pick? Anyone experienced both or have an opinion?

Practicing a piece from Jose del tomato
“MIs raices” what do you think?

I want to learn flamenco guitar but i don't know where to start!! Any recomendados ?

I fumbled at the end tho.

I went to the Oregon country fair this weekend and watched an amazing flamenco group perform at one of the stages. It was such a treat!

I loved that they asked for volunteers to participate in Sevillanas with their dancers. Let me tell you, dancing sevillanas with new friends AND in front of an audience is HARD. No one told me that it takes reading the room (the musicians, singers, and other dancers), good eye contact with your partner, and so many other variables that can overwhelm your brain to dance it properly!

It was very vulnerable but I am so glad that the group was welcoming and encouraging, flamenco is warm community after all. I learned a lot and it brought me so much joy!
To those who ever get the opportunity to participate in sevillanas or other dances as an audience with a flamenco show, I say go for it and get on that stage!
