One of Spain's most acclaimed and charismatic maestros. "The Olympics Coach of Flamenco Dance. He inspires you to 'dance from within', to be bold and expressive, to enjoy the flavour of the dance." Through his prestigious Academia de Manuel Betanzos in Seville, he has mentored and trained many professional artists of today's flamenco world. Manuel has a wealth of experience performing in renowned flamenco tablaos in Spain, where it's all about mastery, spontaneity and improvisation. You'll need a teacher who has lived through all that, to guide you on learning this captivating aspect of flamenco.
MANUEL SOTO
Flamenco Song Maestro
Manuel Soto, also fondly known as Manu, is a highly acclaimed flamenco singer from Jerez, Spain. Hailing from a flamenco family, he brings with him a rich heritage and deep understanding of the art of flamenco cante. As a largely self-taught cantaor, Manu's talent, expressiveness, patience and sincerity shine through in his interactions with students. One of the unique aspects of learning from him is the opportunity to receive the art directly from one of the sources of flamenco in Spain. Manu's artistry extends beyond his home country. He has gained international recognition and is a much sought-after cantaor in the flamenco scene, collaborating with many of today's prominent flamenco artists.
JAVIER IBÁÑEZ

Read what students say
"My favorite palo and the one I have studied the most. Yet I knew there is still always more to learn (a basic truth in Flamenco) and this class has proven it. The class has launched me into another level of understanding the codes and possibilities of dancing an Algerias live. The confidence I have gained from this knowledge has also improved my dancing immensely. Gracias! "
Helena Pietrusiewicz Nunez, USA
"There is so much information that would benefit all students and I urge all students to look carefully at these MAESTROS Flamenco online courses and the zoom courses. They are phenomenal. They are so well organized and prepared, and that makes a BIG difference to the students' assimilation. AND the maestros are all amazing. They are experts, yes, but they are also respected professionals who are actively performing internationally and have the pulse of the current flamenco scene.
Secondly, the courses focus exactly on what the student needs by addressing the most important points often overlooked elsewhere... the UNDERSTANDING, the communications, the differences, the nuances, and the interpretation of the palo.
These courses enable students to be more deliberate and confident in their dancing, not just imitate or copy choreographies.
The MAESTROS courses are a GOLD MINE of flamenco information. Regardless of your skill level or your goal, they should be the basis for your flamenco library. For me personally, they are a joy to experience. First class all the way! "
