“Concha Vargas is one of the “Grand Dames” of Flamenco and should not be missed under any circumstance!!! She is an incredible teacher and an amazing artist who’s style and knowledge will change the way you dance forever.”
~Cihtli Ocampo
“Just being in the same room with such a grand artist is such an amazing experience. Concha transmits an incredible energy and Arte that you don’t encounter everyday – and afterwards you find yourself seeking: the energy of a true Flamenca. As a teacher she is incredibly nuturing and encouraging. I felt transported and didn’t want the class to end.”
~Helena Piet Nunez
“Concha is amazing – as both a dancer and as a teacher. I’ve seen her perform several times both solo performances and with Andres Marin at the Jerez Festival (where I thought she was going to rip his clothes off by the end of it – I loved it!) I studied with her in 2010 and it was amazing – no other time have I ever felt so free, wild & intense dancing. She has the ability to transfer her intensity to her students – she pulls it out of you! It was just an amazing experience and I can’t wait to do it again and I encourage all of you to take advantage of this opportunity.”
