flamencoMAPS

Your personal flamenco travel guide!

Being a flamenco artist means so much more than merely dancing, singing, or playing an instrument.

It can be very difficult to find practical, clear and precise information on all the rules and codes that we must integrate into our learning process if we want to approach an authentic and shareable flamenco that leaves room for improvisation, creativity, freedom and fulfillment.

FlamencoMAPS is helping dancers, singers, guitarists and flamenco enthusiasts who are struggling to find the knowledge and practical tools they need to finally put everything together, feel confident, and ultimately reach their full potential and creativity.

What flamencoMAPS offers:

Comprehensive Flamenco Studies

For anyone with a genuine and deep interest in flamenco: dancers, guitarists, singers, palmero/as, percussionists, musicians in general, curious, music lovers, and aficionado/as.

Everything you always wanted to know about flamenco! Develop your knowledge, your understanding, your sense of rhythm with a global, original and transformative approach!

Format: 90 min every week, group classes – ONLINE

Flamenco Coaching

For you and/or your group: dancers, guitarists, singers, palmero/as, or percussionists.

Do you need an outside perspective on your practice? Guidance for your rehearsals? Advice to strengthen the cohesion of your cuadro? Do you want to deepen your skill in a particular palo? Do you want to better understand a certain compás, falseta, or letra for your choreography?
 Together, we’ll help you overcome your problems and dispel your doubts. All sessions are tailored just for you!

Rhythm, Compás & Palmas Classes

For dancers, guitarists, singers, palmero/as, percussionists, or musicians who want to unravel the mysteries of flamenco rhythm.

Because it’s the rhythm that connects us all, and any flamenco artist must know how to play palmas and nudillos correctly! Learn to recognize los compases flamencos: understand them, practice them, feel them and… feel free!

Format: Individual (60min) / group (90min) – ONLINE

Flamenco Guitar Classes

For guitarists who know that being a flamenco guitarist is much more than just playing guitar! 


Learn to successfully accompany el cante and el baile and still enjoy yourself! Understand the compás, the rhythm, the harmony, and the melody in flamenco, and even learn how compose.

Happy students say…

“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. “

Reyes L.

Culture lover

“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. “

American Aficionada

Dancer

“There are those who know, but do not know how to teach, and those who teach without knowing anything. Guillermo has a huge, authentic base of knowledge to support his attentive listening. He is an educational talent who never admits defeat! He has been able to share information with me that I have not found in any book. If you want to get started, you’ve come across the right person.”

Felipe A.

Guitarist

“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! “

Robin M.

Dancer

“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.”

Dennis A.

Guitarist

“This course really helps me find connections within flamenco.  It’s not just a lecture, discussion is encouraged as well as practice exercises, which makes it more engaging and fun.  The course also explains the why questions I have about flamenco, especially the language of flamenco.”

Noelle R.

Guitarist, singer

“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.”

Nadya B.

Dancer

“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 ;-)”

Laure D.

Dancer

“If I had known, I would have started sooner!”

The future you 😉

Who is behind flamencoMAPS?

I am Guillermo Guillén, an eclectic professional flamenco guitarist born in France, and trained in Spain. I have been touring and teaching around the world for over 20 years.

Since I am myself a flamenco guitarist, you may think that I only enjoy, know and teach guitar, but no, WAIT! I have always loved to teach, that’s why I have been developing flamencoMAPS year after year. It is a global approach, providing efficient educational tools for the flamenco student. Ultimately, it is a very different way of teaching flamenco based on learning the language needed in order to be able to communicate using the codes specific to this art.

Because I had to learn flamenco myself (and I will continue to learn all my life), I know what it means to be lost in this musical ocean. I know what it means to spend hours, months, years practicing, to spend all your holidays and money in learning flamenco, and still feel that something is missing — that you don’t have access to the fullest understanding, or to the deepest part.

My experience in the service of flamencoMAPS

As an artist

I have been a professional guitarist for flamenco shows and, vocal and musical concerts. I have played for contemporary dance companies, studio recordings, provided artistic direction, composed arrangements as well as my own original music, and have participated in television and radio programs, all over the world for the last 20 years.

As a teacher

I have extensive experience offering private lessons, group lessons and coaching sessions, as well as providing guitar accompaniment for dance and cante lessons at the Fundación Christina Heeren de Arte Flamenco of Seville, Spain, the Centro de Arte Flamenco of Seville, and the Peña Flamenca of Bordeaux, France, conferences on flamenco and international master classes.
