FULL FLAMENCO EXPERIENCE IN MADRID 29th, 30th April & 1st May (Bank Holiday).
By popular demand, I have organised a full Flamenco Weekend at two levels (elementary and advanced) in the world famous Amor de Dios Flamenco school in Madrid. The course will take place over 3 days and be taught by both me and the extraordinary Carmen La Talegona who comes from a well-known and established flamenco family in Cordoba (you can read more about her below).
