Known as one of the best flamenco dance teachers in Andalucia today, Carmen Ledesma will offer workshops in the Bay Area this November, 2015. Carmen Ledesma’s first teacher was Enrique el Cojo, one of the founders of Seville’s unique style of flamenco dance. And her maestro Pepe Rios (from Moron de la Frontera, nephew of Diego del Gaster) was a major influence. In the early years of her career, she worked with Antonio Gades at Spain’s National Ballet. In 1983 she was awarded the prestigious Juana la Macarrona prize for dance at Cordoba’s National Flamenco Arts Awards. She later went on to work with such greats as Mario Maya and El Farruco and toured both Spain and France with guitarist Pedro Bacan’s legendary group “The Pinini Clan,” where she danced alongside Concha Vargas.
