Susana - dancer, teacher and choreographer- comes from Spain with her husband, Antonio Robledo, to introduce the students to the rhythms of another culture; the secrets of an ancient art that speaks of the passion of itinerant gypsies, the songs of Spanish Jews, the ways of the Moors. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

Flamenco at 5:15Aug 28, 2011
By Marta
I'm a flamenco teacher and this is my favorite flamenco film. The teacher reminds me of my first teacher and I just love her. Her explanation of flamenco hands is the best I've ever seen or heard. I've assigned all my students to watch this film. The teacher's explanations of the flamenco rhythms are clear and concise (and understandable). And most of all, the expression on the teacher's face expresses her love of flamenco. This film makes me want to be a flamenco dancer when I grow up.
Youth and the Zen of flamencoFeb 13, 2012

A blast from the 80's: a five-week long class taught by an older couple, once the best in their field, and now expertly teaching ballet students what flamenco is all about. Susanna is the dancer, who imparts her knowledge with quiet passion, explaining the 'feeling' and the 'philosophy' of flamenco. Her husband, Antonio, provides piano accompaniment while the students learn the steps and movement of flamenco. He also explains the musical background of some of the flamenco beats or 'compas'as they are called. Truly a joy to observe the masters and their young protegees who otherwise would rather never be exposed to dance other than ballet.
