"The Morca Method of Flamenco Technique" on DVD, | |
Teodoro Morca is recognized the world over as a master teacher, performer, choreographer, author and an authority on all facets of Flamenco and Spanish dance. He is now offering a DVD selection of his own method of approaching Flamenco technique, repertoire, interpretation and understanding of Flamenco dance. Morca shares his proven methods that he has worked out over many years of successful teaching. The bottom line is: they work! Teodoro Morca explains his approach and philosophy in the opening DVDs and explains all of the materials that he teaches so that understanding of each technique is stressed. Morca's All Flamenco Workshops around the world have been done with great success and his methods of teaching have spoken for themselves in the people who have studied with him. They go away with an understanding of "a" way of studying the beautiful art of "FLAMENCO." |
Morca's complete technical teaching method is now offered on DVD. Each DVD averages more than 1.5 hours, with some close to two hours in length. 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 BooksThese 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 | |
