To purchase flamenco music and videos:

It is hard to find more than “pop” flamenco music at places like Hastings and Borders.  There is much, much more to flamenco than the Gipsy Kings and Ottmar Liebert!

I usually order music and videos online. One site I use frequently is Flamencoconnection.com, but there are many others you can try.

Some of the music that I use in class:

•  “Solo Compas” CD’s that have the basic rhythms we’ll be working with such as Tangos, Farruca, Sevillanas, Bulerias
• Camaron de la Isla
• Estrella Morente
• El Potito
• Carmen Linares

-- Look for music made in Spain that is by a certain singer because the song is very important; otherwise you might end up with just guitar music which is nice but doesn’t give you the whole flavor of flamenco.

What to wear to class:

• Cool comfortable clothes that are easy to  move in. 
• For women, a full skirt is reccomended, but not required. 
• Wear shoes that support and protect your feet for footwork.  Something with a 1 to 2 inch heel is preferable.
