5.0 out of 5 stars A succinct and thoughtful book on the essence of flamenco, August 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Becoming the Dance: Flamenco Spirit (Paperback)

I feel that this book was succinct and thoughtful in regards to the essence of flamenco. I love the fact that the book was written by a flamenco artist who truly understands the beauty of this amazing art form. It also vindicates everything that my flamenco teacher has been telling me over the past 2 1/2 years. I feel that Teodoro Morca captured in words what it means to be flamenco and what it means to live flamenco. His sensitivity, compassion and vulnerability to the art form makes flamenco more accessible to those that may not truly know what flamenco is. I have read books on flamenco by D.E. Pohren, and although his books go in depth as to the history of flamenco, and into the various artists, he does not have the warmth that Teodoro Morca has because Teo has been immersed in the flamenco life for over 40 years. Thank you for writing such a wonderful book. I will never tire of reading it over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insights From a True Artist, March 1, 2010

By 

Alisa (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Becoming the Dance: Flamenco Spirit (Paperback)

This is a book that deftly conveys the life experiences, insights, and accumulated wisdom of legendary dance artist Teo Morca, who at 75 continues to share his knowledge of flamenco with generosity and genuine humility. Illustrated with a selection of beautiful photos from his personal collection, Morca's essays and anecdotes are by turns inspiring, entertaining, amusing, and moving. This is a book you will surely treasure!
