“Guille’s class to me is an instruction manual on how to live: with constancy, companionship, curiosity, practice, self-forgiveness, passionate appreciation, sensibility and the courage to step out of your boundaries and follow Enrique Morente’s and your own star. Guille is a first-rate guitar performer and composer, an expert in flamenco who loves it deeply, and an excellent teacher who combines first-rate instruction with informal class participation.  The class is open to people of different talents and levels. In it, all have a place and learn in common. The ole!-type of upbeat atmosphere makes every meeting a celebration. “

“As an American aficionada, I did not grow up listening to the sounds of flamenco. I was not imbued with a deep sense of the rhythms and melodies. I have spent years in frustrating dance classes, memorizing movements to recorded music for a recital, while still being unable to move on my own in time to the music. Guillermo’s classes have gently parted the veils of my ignorance. He has taken me by the hand to introduce me to the missing aspects of my understanding. With clear language, and simple exercises we are learning the foundations of this rich and beautiful art form. I am learning the music and compas. I am so grateful. To put it plainly, Maestro Guillen’s classes are a revelation. “

“Guillermo Guillén is a generous and kind teacher who has helped me deepen my understanding of flamenco – the cante, toque, palmas, baile and la cultura del flamenco. Our group of aficionados has formed a great community and we learn together and have entertaining discussions as we immerse ourselves in the world of flamenco and also the broader context of current Spanish life and history. I look forward to every class meeting. Guillermo always is prepared for class and has a curriculum that is very comprehensive and engaging. This is a class for everyone, olé! “

“I have been enjoying the Comprehensive Flamenco class with Guille. He is so knowledgeable. He is a great teacher and knows how to reach everyone’s learning style. If you really want to understand all aspects of flamenco, then this is the class for you.”

“Thanks to this course, I finally start to have a global and systematized vision on flamenco: the palos, the music, the history, the artists … Not only is it interesting and enriching, but also very useful for anybody who takes dance lessons. I highly recommend Guille’s classes to all those who love flamenco and have lots of questions about it.”

“Before I only had questions, but that was before. Now thanks to Guille’s patience, knowledge and experience I have many answers! His comprehensive approach and the educational tools he creates enlighten me and allow me to progress both in my baile and in flamenco culture. I finally manage to remove the misty veil that surrounded my Flamenco! The palos, the compás, the artists, the interactions and the “fin de fiesta” will soon have no more secrets for me … At least that’s what I hope ;-)”
