PRIZE DRAW TO WIN TICKETS TO SEE
THE FARRUCO FAMILY AT SADLER'S WELLS.
The Farruco Family has kindly offered a ticket to be
raffled amongst those attending their masterclass.
The Farruco family have kindly offered a free ticket for the theatre to go to see them amongts those booking the course on Sunday the 9th.
Conceived and directed by flamenco legend Farruquito, Los Farruco sees four members of his family – his mother La Farruca, brother Farru, aunt La Faraona and cousin Barullo – join together in a celebration of traditional gypsy flamenco.
The Farruquito family are the Royals of the flamenco world - and can trace their flamenco roots back through more than six generations. In Spain, a performance by Los Farruco is always greeted with much excitement and standing ovations from the audience.
The four dancers demonstrate gypsy flamenco at its very best - bursting into a scuffle of toe tips, heels, long hair, acrobatic turns and take-offs. The younger generations follow in Farruquito’s footsteps, being renowned for their acrobatic turns and fast, furious footwork.
We advice you to book for the course as soon as you can. Please notice CANCELATIONS ARE NOT POSSIBLE. Once you book your place you will be charge for it even if you don't turn up on the day. Please understand once you book your place we won't offer it to anyone else. Also we have to show some respect to the artists.
Thanks in advance for your collaboration.I AM SO SO SO HAPPY WE WILL HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF LEARNING WITH THEM!!!

Rafael Amargo is a young flamenco bailaor with a great trajectory behind him. He knows the purest essences of flamenco well, but at the same time he is a daring bailaor with the desire and ability to do new things, especially as a choreographer, the facet in which he claims that he is most comfortable.
Rafael meets the stereotype of the flamenco dancer. He is tall, muscly and very sexy. He dances like a dream in a way that brings flamenco firmly in to the 21st century while managing to preserve the traditional structure of the dance and, most importantly, its spirit.
He is considered a national treasure. The Spanish national daily newspaper 'El Mundo' described him as “having drunk from the fountains of the most pure flamenco...” He has assimilated a multitude of influences into his genre of flamenco to produce something that it totally traditional and yet thoroughly of today. At 25, he has arrived, according to another daily, 'El Pais,' at the point of being considered one of the most promising flamenco talents to have emerged in many years. This is praise indeed since rarely do 25 year olds figure as major talents in flamenco.
Rafael Amargo currently is in London directing a new West End Musical "El Zorro"
We are very happy to have the privileged of having Rafael teaching workshops for Ilusion Flamenca school.
