An intensive flamenco experience with Paco Lara & Sebastian Sánchez

Sunday, 01 February 2025 | Melbourne, Australia

A rare opportunity to learn with two flamenco masters

This intensive workshop brings together two internationally respected flamenco artists – Paco Lara and Sebastian Sánchez – for a focused session of learning across music and dance. Designed for dedicated students, the workshop centres on musical understanding, communication, and depth of expression across flamenco disciplines.

Two groups | One Taranto | Taught separately | Performed together

In the first part of the workshop, participants will work in two separate groups – music and dance – focusing on the specific demands of their discipline.

In the second part, all participants come together to apply this material in a shared Taranto, exploring how music and dance interact in real time.

This structure allows for detailed, focused learning before bringing all elements together as a complete flamenco form.

What's unique

• Integrated approach across guitar, cante, palmas, percussion, and dance • Direct transmission from two maestros with deep roots in flamenco tradition
• Focus on musical structure, communication, and intention – not choreography alone
