This the info you need if you can't find it on the site. http://www.mariabenitez.com/index.asp?ID=8

Last year I took 1 hour from Chuscales and 1 hour from Calvin Hazin 10 hours for about 350.00 If I remember right. It was A lot of fun man. total I think the trip cost me about 900 with plain tickets and every thing else.

RE: Flamenco workshop in Sante Fe (in reply to edgar884)

I'm seriously considering it and I really should. My "problem" is I only live about 150 miles from "Santa Flake." Too far to drive daily, for me at least, but too close to stay with only an hour or two a day tied up in instruction.

I fear I would go nuts in the off-time and I can't play or practice more than 3-4 hours daily, my hands just won't take it anymore and I have consumed more than my share and probably several other people's share, of booze in my lifetime.

Is the schedule posted yet? Added: I see it's not.

BTW, Chuscales will be here tomorrow night, 2/18. I'm anxious hear and meet him.

RE: Flamenco workshop in Sante Fe (in reply to edgar884)

I stayed with a friend down there. every morining I would take the bus downtown and then another and walk about 15 minutes to the Radisson which is now the Lodge. I would take 2 classes and then hang out in the bar and practice for 7 to 10 hours. Then start drinking to kill the Pain of practicing that much(dont worry I didnt hurt myself).

I changed my strings 10 times in a weak ****ing crazy eh eh ha ha.

Anyway I think it would be cool to get a couple guys and share the cost of a room I'm sure they would hook us up I know the guys that work there. It would be a lot better than staying at the dorms. Also we could wake up and go right downstairs to our lessons. And every night theres a Flamenco show. Which you can usher for and get free tickets, once you have seated evryone you can sit and enjoy the show. Chuscales and Calvin Hazen are excellent players.
I think for about 400 bucks you can take 10 classes. thats a killer deal man.

Thought I would share a little of what I know.

Any questions just ask, I will post the schedule as soon as I get it in the mail.

Anyone interested please let me know

Edgar:

Are the classes conducted in the Radisson/Lodge, the one on the north side of town where her theater is (bar upstairs)?

Very familiar with that place as my wife and I attend her performances usually a couple of times during "the season."

Yes the classes are at the Radisson but now it's called the Lodge.

Were the dorms that bad? I checked out the links, but it states the schedule will be posted as soon as it is available.

I'm very interested in attending, but don't think I could do more than a couple-few days. Not to mention, I'm only a beginner, and the most I've ever been able to practice in a single sitting is about 3 hrs.

I just heard it was a pain to bathe and clean up no sinks and ****, half to share a bathroom.

Samwise you could take 1 class practice for 2 hours and check out downtown.
