No Morris dancing here, but we are definately Spanish dancing, Flamenco dancing and some Asian fusions happening with the silk fans and fantails for fun.

Love how your show/performance in educational and informative everything else, props, beautiful costumes choreo and music is a plus. Thank you. You all are great. Keep it going Happy New Year. FYI also love your message of inclusion.❤

@@flamencoletraarchive1869 Thank you so much!

Such a beautiful video! Thank you for putting this together. It's amazing to hear the stories of Veronica and Harry (and Gareth!) about their flamenco journey and how much they've inspired many of us on the path of flamenco! <3

It's a great community in Victoria for sure! @@iminahkani

Thanks Cristina! In the scope of the history of flamenco, we had 1950 Angel Monzon who was bailarin (orchestra, trained danza española, Latín American folk dance, Spanish folk dance), then with Oscar Rosario Veronica in the 1980s with flamenco shows (many shows with 2 singers, 2 guitarists, 2-3 dancers and perhaps a company). Peter started the scrappy, small flamenco to start his own thing at Kino and that is how we all knew cuadro flamenco. We all lived this! Then it became the new normal!

⁠@@MozaicoFlamencoDancewow , so much history and evolution! Thank for being the Vancouver Flamenco Historian, it’s invaluable knowledge you are sharing . Material worth a documentary , maybe , one day 🤔

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Rosa! I am really curious about your culture! We need more de ida y vuelta!

Kate did a great job and it was lucky it was so windy that day because we had to get creative about the sound and her interview.

Yes we were so happy someone was so positive about the pandemic, Kemi!!!

It is the way the guitar tunes up. Most bulerias, spb you are hearing are por medio. Then when they play solea, it's a different tuning. Most of the ladies Jafelin, Cyrena, etc are singing por medio. Once in a while when we have to sing with Oscar or Emad, then we switch to por arriba. It's kinda a guitar thang...see it live with Peter and Gary!!!!

PPS Doesn't affect how we dance but sometimes it does sound strange if they do that in the middle of a bulerias.

@@MozaicoFlamencoDance interesting to understand better, thanks!

watch the cante lesson...so funny how many ways the singer Jafelin can sing it and she doesn't know she is switching!

thanks for watching!

Well, our point is that usually flamenco students don't know how to tune up their voices. It's fine when there is a professional singer there and people are singing along, but how to teach western students of flamenco to tune up? If they tune up, they would have to be able to find that note themselves. Then usually flamenco will start on 1, 4 or 5. That being said, once they do those basics of course a letra can start on other notes like 3 or 6, but it is kind of irregular. Anyway, thanks for the chat about it. We might have to chat with a guitarist with you...

Thanks!

Hahahah, you can see us every Monday now! New 10-15 min each week till year end and probably next year too.

Thanks Iminah, thanks for watching!
