Learn Flamenco

Buy This Item Learn Flamenco by Dialogue Int'l  Available from Amazon  $19.95  on 11-27-2008     The people who put this together are students, and I have seen many other students better than these people. They have no technique and certainly no style. They spend about 15 minutes to show some basic footsteps and then the rest of the video is clips of them doing their gigs! <br /> <br />You got to have some nerve making a video like this. The distributor should pull this off the shelves and tell these people to go take some lessons. <br /> <br />This is what I call an abuse of the beautiful art of flamenco. <br /> <br />PS: I didn't buy this, I rented it from Netflix thinking it was a flamenco guitar instruction video. Reader Reviews This is an absolutely horrible amateur production. It is more like a home movie and I can't believe they are actually selling it. As far as the flamenco work-it's disgraceful. These individuals are not qualified to teach or even perform. Please do your research if you really want to learn flamenco. Flamenco has fast, clean footwork; strong arms and NO castanets. Castanets are used solely in Spanish folk dances. Their footwork and timing is completely off and their arm work is very sloppy. Also, the women in this video should have taken notice of the fact that their skirt goes WELL ABOVE their thigh quite a few times. A true flamenco dancer never exposes herself. Please watch Carlos Saura's "Flamenco" if you want to see true flamenco. You can also find some scenes from the movie on various sites on the internet if you are unable to find the movie. I did not buy this DVD, I noticed it on a library shelf and was curious to see how it would portray flamenco since it is quite misrepresented.
