Flamenco in Washington DC by Miguelito--Intro

[][][][][][][]

Miguelito who?

My name is Michael Pérez, but a lot of my Spanish-speaking friends just call me Miguelito (pronounced mee-geh-LEE-toe). I'm a flamenco guitarist who performs in the DC area and also maintains the DCFLAMENCO.COM website.

I presume that you live in the Washington DC area and have an interest in learning more about flamenco.

So....checking up on me are you?

That's cool. I was hoping you'd come visit my homepage, especially if you're looking for some info on flamenco shows and classes. Well, if you live in the Washington DC area, then congratulations! You've found the only web site in the whole world devoted to flamenco in DC!

You're probably thinking that there couldn't possibly be a flamenco scene HERE...

Well, "scene" might not be the exact word, but believe it or not there is a fair amount of flamenco happening in Washington, DC if you know WHERE to look. This web site is where you'll find ALL the DC flamenco events info from an excellent source...ME!

Now I suppose you want to know how I qualify as an, no THE best source of flamenco events info for this area...

Well, although I don't make all of my living as a flamenco guitarist, I perform regulary with certain dancers and on and off with others who are members of the local flamenco dance companies:

Los Jovenes Flamencos
Viva Flamenco
Arte Flamenco
Danza del Río
Ana Martinez Spanish Dance Company
Sol y Sombra
Triana
Mal de Fleur
Jaleo
Orgullo Flamenco
Estampo Flamenco
Blanca Luz
Ziva's Spanish Dance Ensemble
Spanish Dance Theatre
Spanish Dance Society

Whew!!! Obviously, if there is a flamenco-related event going on in the Nation's capital (USA), I'm either part of it or I know the people organizing it.

I also happen to know just about every flamenco dance teacher in the DC area:

Edwin Aparicio
Micaela Moreno
Sara Candela
Lola Zalamea
Ana Martinez (Ana Martinez Spanish Dance Company)
Ena Camargo (Viva Flamenco)
Natalia Monteleón (Arte Flamenco)
