Morca book, Becoming the Dance Flamenco Spirit 2008 edition "Be bathed in the totality of flamenco--which in all essence and reality is really the dance of life, the song of life, the music of life in all of its glory."

This book is dedicated to all people who seek a way -- not the way, for there are many ways, but a way -- a path to becoming the dance, to feel that dance of life, that communication of spirit, of life, of self.

The spirit of flamenco is the art of living each day to its fullest, physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally as an individual and fulfilling your individuality as a unique creative expression of life.

The body expressing flamenco in movement and sound is communication with the heart, with the universe, in spirit, soul and in feelings that are feelings of truth and individuality.

Flamenco is the un-selfconscious joy, sorrow, passion, pain, growth, love, fear, fear of death, fear of not living the who that you are.

DVD 1. An introduction to Flamenco dance, using the 4-count rhythms of Tangos and other rhythms to understand total basic movement, and the 4-count compas in a variety of techniques to get the whole Flamenco body moving. In coordination, paseos, turns and dynamics, etc.

DVD 2. Is similar to DVD 1, but uses the rhythms of Soleares to introduce the 12-count rhythms. The key is total body movement with the understanding that the 4- and 12-count compas cover the majority of Flamenco compas. Interpretation is stressed, ole!

DVD 3. This DVD is dedicated to a total approach and understanding of the audible rhythms of handclapping (palmas) and footwork. This DVD shows many of the base techniques, a series of base redobles and the majority of footwork movements that are the building blocks of footwork: footwork is a musical instrument and that is the approach.

DVD 4. This is a general intermediate technique class DVD in all facets of Flamenco dance techniques. This DVD has a bit of everything.

DVD 5. Technique, using Alegrias for the movements and repertoire, includes: 4 coplas of Sevillanas, 4 coplas of Fandangos de Huelva, a Tango, a Rumba, and an introduction of Castanet techniques and Morca playing a Corelli Solo for Castanets.

DVD 6. This is an introduction to Bulerias, indispensable for those wanting to understand a great four--point approach to this great rhythm, plus Morca improvising Bulerias with two different guitarists.

* DVDs 1, 2, and 3 are a must and are great for Beginner-Intermediate dancers.

Children's Story/Coloring Books

These are stories that I told to my children as they were growing up. In 1980 I self-published it with illustrations from Jane Mitchell, who captured the expressions and nuances of the story.

Over dinner recently with friends and family, we decided it was time to republish this story for a new generation. The message in this book is a timeless reminder about sharing and trust. ~ Teodoro Morca
