Saludos! There will be some changes to my current classes beginning immediately. We are consolidating and solidifying the levels of some classes, to offer the student a more effective and satisfying experience. We feel a workshop style class will be more fun and enriching as well as less expensive!
Wednesday evening classes at City Ballet Studio are discontinued effective immediately.
From April 13- May 3 there will be no Tuesday classes, as I am taking a break. (If you have classes left on your cards, you can apply them to the upcoming workshop.)
Tuesday night classes at the SF Dance Center will begin in a new format of workshop only, running in 8-week sessions. The next Workshop begins on Tuesday, May 11 - June 29. I will be offering some new classes at all levels and encourage my students to send me their thoughts or requests. These classes will also take place on the 5th Floor studio at SF Dance Center, not the 3rd Floor Studio.
The Saturday Ashkenaz Workshop remains unchanged and the current workshop runs to Saturday, April 24. The next session starts on May 1- June 19, for Level 1 Beginners and Level 11 Intermediate students.

René Heredia is a leading figure in the development of Flamenco.
René and his flamenco guitar have been together for so many years of his lifetime that there seems to be no separation of the two. He formed a bond with the guitar as a child. His life, his character, his loves and aspirations have all developed through the instrument.
René began his training with his father, a Gitano Puro (pure Gypsy). As a boy, René was taught the rudiments of Flamenco Guitar and Spanish Gypsy Dance. He brings a unique view of both sides of the art form to his audience.
As a little boy, René remembers always having the house full of flamencos such as Carlos Montoya, Vicente Escuderos, Mario Escudero, José Greco's Dance Company, Carmen Amaya, Sabicas, La Chunga and her Company. They were all close friends of José Heredia and his family. Sabicas would help and teach René the secrets of flamenco at his mother's kitchen table.
At thirteen he was performing with his sisters, Fátima, Sarita, Zoraida, Carmen and brother Enrique. "Los Heredia" were doing concerts, television shows and supper club performances. His international recognition came when he was seventeen and the incomparable Flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya (Spain's greatest cancer of this century) heard him play. She immediately took him to be her lead guitarist. He toured many years and concertized the major capitals of Europe and the United States with the famous Amaya Ballet. While he was in Spain, René was invited to perform with the singing and motion picture star Antoñita Moreno in "Los Reinos de España". He was then invited to perform in the Festival de Canta Grande with Fosforito, Jarrito, Juanito Varea, Chocolate and Gordito de Triana, some of Spain's most outstanding singers. As his reputation grew, the famous Spanish dancer Jose Greco invited him to be his lead guitarist for several seasons. René has played for such outstanding dancers as El Guito, Mario Maya, Los Pelaos, Manuela Vargas, Luisita Triana, María Rosa Lutys de Luz, María Benítez, Los Heredia and many more.
While living in Paris, René's distinguished LP album Alborada Flamenca was awarded the Gran Prix de Disque of France. In the United States, René was invited to perform the world premiere of his symphony composition and Flamenco suite for Guitar and Orchestra "Alborada Gitana" (a Farruca) which he performed with the Denver Symphony and Denver Chamber Orchestra at Red Rocks Ampitheater.
René has performed live concerts and TV shows with his Flamenco Fusion Group and his Flamenco Fantasy Dance Theater. He performed solo concerts at such prestigious venuses as New York;s Carnegie Recital Hall four years in a row where he received standing ovations. The Champs Elysee Theater in Paris, Westminister Theater in London, Teatro Barcelona, Teatro La Zarzuela and Teatro Maravilla in Madrid, Spain, and the Dorthy Chandler Pavillion and Greek Theater in Los Angeles.
René has performed concerts with this Flamenco Fantasy Dance Theater in Kansas Cyty where he was awarded the "Keys to the City" (sister city of Seville, Spain). He was recognized as one of Colorado's best-known composers in a special tribute to Colorado artists at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
René was invited to be the lead guitarist and guest artist with Stewart Copeland, founder of the "Police" in his national tour of the U.S.A. in "The Rythmatist", René was invited by Colorado Performing Arts Center to be the musical director for the play "Romeo and Juliet" (set in early colonial California).
René was awarded the prestigous Governor's Award of Colorado for excellence in Performance and Education. This October he was awarded "The Mayor's Award of Denver for excellence in the Arts". He has done command performances for such gignitaries as Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco, Armand Hammer, President Ford and Prince Bandar, Ambassador to the United States, and son of King Fahd of Saudia Arabia. This August he did a command performance for Queen Noor of Jordan, Widow of King Hussein. He also performed for President Jimmy Carter at the 50th anniversary of the Aspen Institute.
René has appeared on numerous national radio and television shows, including The Ed Sullivan Show with Duke Ellington, The Steve Allen Show with Savicas and The Art Linkleter Show with Donald O'Connor and Abbie Laine. The George Gobel and Eddie Fisher Show with Carmen Amaya, and the Ann Southern Show with Cesar Romero. René appeared in the Spanish Movie "Balcón de Luna" with Paquita Rico, Carmen Sevilla, and Lola Flores. His N.E.T. concert specials and opening acts for such outstanding artists as Bill Cosby, Hal Lindon and Peter Nero have put René in the forefront as one of the leading Flamenco guitarists in the United States today.
"René Heredia is the most sensational young Flamenco guitarist in the United States."
"... brilliant ... phenomenal ... exciting virtuoso."
"The audience wouldn't let him quit."
"René Heredia is a brilliant guitarist."
"René Heredia, "He played a Danza Mora that rivaled any I have ever heard."
"The guitar playing of René Heredia is in the finest tradition of Flamenco, creating a flaming intensity that cannot fail to arouse."

Ana Montes has been dancing since she was 9, training in classical ballet which she continues to this day. Her flamenco studies started in Sevilla where she has studied under Angelita Vargas and José Galván. In Madrid Ana studied with many of the most well known and respected flamenco teachers and artists including Ciro, La Tati, El Güito and Merce Esmeralda. She also studied the Spanish folkdance "jota" with the famous Pedro Azorín. Ana danced professionally at various clubs and theaters and with Rosa Montoya Bailes Flamencos. She left the United States to dance professionally in Spain, Europe and Mexico for 7 years. These years include dancing with the Ballet Español del Camborio, the Ballet Español de Fernando Romero in Madrid, and at El Burrero Peña Flamenca in Madrid. Ana has been performing and teaching in the Seattle area since 1991. Known as one of the West Coast's foremost female flamenco dancers Ana has been acclaimed as brilliant and charismatic, moving with grace and elegance, especially the upper torso, arms and hands which so defines the female flamenco dancer, yet at the same time containing that tension and passion which makes flamenco so exciting.
