Periodically, Flamenco Arts Northwest offers two- and three-day flamenco workshops, with two levels. Although not long enough to teach a whole choreography, this amount of time allows for an introduction to a guest teacher's style and for the students to get a fresh perspective and new ideas. Flamenco Arts Northwest draws from a pool of nationally known and internationally recognized teachers who have a good rapport with students and offer an excellent value: reasonable prices and generosity in the classroom.


 





OSCAR NIETO


 


Oscar Nieto photo   Oscar Nieto has become one of North America’s most acclaimed flamenco dancers since launching his professional dance career at the Chicago Lyric Opera House in 1969. Following his debut performance, he was invited to work with Lola Montes and her Spanish Ballet, and with the José Greco Company. A tour of Europe with José Antonio’s Ballet Silouetas took Mr. Nieto to Spain, and there he embarked upon an intensive study of Spanish flamenco, regional and clasico dance forms. Upon his return to North America he worked with flamenco masters Ciro and Antonio Gades. In 1998 he received a Canada Council grant to study the evolution of flamenco and Spanish dance in Spain. His latest project is the creation of film on the life and career of his mentor Lola Montes.

Oscar Nieto is in constant demand as a guest artist and teacher. He has performed with the Boston Ballet and the Boston Flamenco Ballet. In recent years, he has made guest appearances in over twenty cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Monterey, Philadelphia, Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria. Now resident in Vancouver, British Columbia, Mr. Nieto has performed with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and in several of Vancouver Opera productions of Carmen, La Traviata and Jenufa, both as dancer and choreographer.

MARIA "CHACHA" BERMUDEZ

 

Maria Bermudez, "Chacha", was raised in Los Angeles, and made her mark as an actress and singer. She began studying flamenco dance after the untimely death of her beloved and talented brother, Alfonso Bermudez. She moved to Jerez de la Frontera over fifteen years ago, and is married to el Pele, of the group Navajita Plateao (Gypsy rock). She has worked tirelessly to bring the authentic Jerez style of flamenco to American audiences in her performance tours, always with a large group of Jerez Gypsies, and to impart that style of choreography in her workshops and classes. She is working on a documentary film of her life and work, "Sueños es Blanco y Negro" to be released in the near future.
