Dance for Antonio Banderas at the Golden Eagle Awards.
«Antonio told everyone that the event was very late and that he was very sorry but that he had to go out to pick up his wife Melanie at the airport that came from India.
All the press and producer of the awards began to hallucinate, many smiles were erased from the face, including mine and the guitarist also Malagueño who accompanied me to act at the time they would give the prize to Banderas.
Suddenly I went to Antonio Banderas, introduced myself and told him in front of almost 70 people, that he could not leave, that I had been waiting a long time for this moment that was sure to be magical and that he would stay … not only I remain, if not that he said to everyone and out loud; Put one more chair on the stage, I’m going to play the palms of this Madrid girl, then she went to me and in a short time she told me, after the delivery, do not go, I want to take a picture with which she has convinced me so that I stayed.
+ GENERAL CONSULATE OF SPAIN IN LOS ANGELES
  • As Flamenco Ambassador Esther Ponce represents Spain and dances for 60 Cons of different countries who later signed a letter of recommendation in NY City INS.
  • Esther Ponce enters and leaves the country with her Visa 01 (Special Habilities) thanks to Sandra Cannon, her unconditional student, her intimate friend of adventures and flamenco around the world and her lawyer.
Bureaucratically, it is supported by the Spanish Consul General José Luis Dicenta Ballester, who does not hesitate to support and recognize in society the importance of the artist in the United States, as well as his successor, Don Inocencio Arias, from whom he receives recognition at his residence. Los Angeles for being the only Spanish artist to broadcast her show Flamenco Dreams on North American cultural TV.
Produces, directs and choreographs Flamenco Sensual, formed by 5 students from different countries of the world, which will be filmed and broadcast during the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Day in the store owned by Yadro in Beverlly Hills. Presented by D. Jose Luis Ballester.
«I was a teacher for almost 4 years. I received students from all over California. I had a student who had been driving from San Diego at 2h.30m to my class of an hour and a half and returned to San Diego after class. That’s called Passion!
My class looked like UNICEF. North Americans, Latinos, African Americans, Israelites … Don Jose Luis, the consul, liked the idea of ​​teaching the learning of 5 students of different nationalities, who in just one year of intensive classes of 12 hours a week from Tecnica and Choreography learned at a professional level.
Flamenco Sensual surrounds it in «Windows» A down town restaurant famous for its height and which are all windows …
The first day that my producer took me to dinner to my mother and me to Windows and saw the lights of the night through those huge windows to the ground, I said: Until I set up a stage and dance to LA night not I’m going to stop! I will choose 5 of my students. We offered a tequlia, since the owner was Mexican and the next day I was cutting the letas with my dressmaker and talking to the Consul who would be the one presenting the «Flamenco Sensual» Cocktail.
He added me to his guest list and I went to a lot of very fun events and parties. A very convoluted Consul. He also made a meal in honor of my father who came to visit me in LA with the director of the tour office Don Ignacio Ducasse, a very good friend in his day, who also supported me during my stay in Los Angeles.
+ AS E.P. PRODUCTIONS IS SENT BY THE TOURISM OFFICE OF L.A TO THE SECOND BANK OF HIRING OF FLAMENCO DE ANDALUCIA.
It was a very productive experience and a lot of learning at the business level. It was funny to see my colleagues acting for Andalucia and I to be a pubic as a producer. Andalucia There Is Only One did it very well. I learned a lot in The Flamenco routes that were orgnaized, especially over cantes, that in Madrid if you are not very fond, it escapes us. The best of all was living in L.A, traveling to Spain and returning to L.A to continue.
In the Gramhy with Diego el Cigala
Esther Ponce relives her encounter with Diego el Cigala in the celebration of the Gramhy and they even sign a contract for «Second Annual Los Angeles Flamenco Festival» with the poster already made with dates, theater, etc.
«That was my first and last hoax in LA, a journalist in a powerful newspaper with a fantasy producer, who cheated on me. They also took advantage of my relationship with Diego and used me to get to him. They almost get me to lose the special relationship that El Cigala and I have. But luckily it was not like that.
Diego taught me to dance by solea in the streets of Madrid in front of the Corral de la Moreria.
He saw me crying because he had to replace a dancer and he had lied because he did not know any dance, only pieces learned in the classes. Later, when I was 18 years old, I went back to the solea with Diego El Cigala to sing on the stage of «Casa Patas» in Madrid, I prefer to stay with that memory, although it was also an adventure to bring from singer to Diego el Cigala al Patas because between function and function he left and the second part had already started and he had not come back, I left everyone waiting, public and artists and asked my father to take me to where Diego was … he took me, and I told him Diego, I remind you that I have hired you to sing, we are all waiting for you, it’s a good thing that I cast a couple and with 18!

PERSONALIDADES QUE ESCRIBIERON SOBRE PRIETO NESPERIRA
MR. JULIO PRIETO NESPEREIRA

Unleash Your Inner Flamenca is dedicated to all the women of the world and it does not mean that you have to be flamenco or dedicate yourself to the world of dance. It is an expression, it is a way of facing the setbacks that life gives us and because flamenco has that attitude of: Here I am!

Unleashing my inner Flamenca has helped me in many very extreme situations in my life and, not only technically speaking as a flamenco professional, but in those times that I didn't have to be dancing, or teaching, or competing, or performing on stage. I’m talking about everyday life.

That is why you too can bring out your inner Flamenca. 

A flamenca woman is confident, a flamenca woman is sure of herself, has gravitas, has bearing, has wisdom and knows how to be in command. 

In other words, unleash your inner Flamenca and join me in this adventure in which we are going to have a great time! We know how it starts and we don't know how it ends, but it is sure to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of your life.

”

I didn't need to be famous to sleep in Hemingway's Presidential suite at the Gritti Palace in Venice for all my birthdays. 

Have a Bellini while I wait for the gondola that will take me to the private Film Festival party on the yacht of my colleague, who was a Versace collaborator, or dine on the famous terrace of the Hotel Danieli. 

It is also true that if I had slept with all my stalkers, I would now be more famous than Sara Baras. BUT! no matter how much I took a shower, the smell of vomit would not go away from my body and the phrase of: “how did I get it” would be the soundtrack of my life, which would turn my insides with each applause. 

Nor did I need to be famous to have a bodyguard escort me to the door of the plane, in the direction of the American Embassy in Beirut or go in a Limousine and drink the best champagne. 

“Todo lo he conseguido con pasión, seguridad en mi misma , esfuerzo y dedicación”. 

”

Proving first to myself and then to the whole world that I don't need to sell myself to a man to succeed in my career. And that I bring out the inner Flamenca every time they cross my path. 

Do not allow any man to command you or demand what you have to do. 

Lucha por lo que quieras, viste como quieras, maquíllate como quieras , estudia lo que quieras y júntate con quien quieras.

The first time a man lays his hand on you, it will be his fault, but the second time it will be your fault for putting up with the first time. 

And if you feel trapped and you are afraid to stand up to your reality, look for a way as if it were the last day of your life to give a signal at the pharmacy, at the market, to a neighbor you come across, to anyone who can hear this number: 016! and it will be the first step to your salvation, to your new life, surely filled with all the good things you long for and where no one will let you back down. You will immediately be protected by the society that will protect and help you without conditions. And I, Esther Ponce, am already thinking of you. 

UNLEASH YOUR INNER FLAMENCA #SACALAFLAMENCA

”
I have suffered more than 10 workplace harassments from very famous people in the world of show business, and knowing what I now know, I would have denounced it. 

A I’m going to tell you how I brought out the flamenco that I have in extreme situations and that I hope and serve to help some woman to do the same as me.

For now I'm only going to use nicknames.

“If I had slept with all my stalkers, I would now be more famous than Sara Baras. "

”
 

With my testimony and my own experience, living in different countries of the world and interacting with all kinds of social classes, race, culture and religion, I want to turn around the drama that women experience in the world.
Ayudarlas a salir de ese callejón oscuro, animarlas y convencerlas de que nunca tiren la toalla , de que existe un mundo maravilloso esperándoles para sacar lo mejor de ellas. Su fuerza, su belleza interior y sus ganas de salir adelante. Que no dejen de luchar por los derechos de la mujer y la igualdad de género. Que griten a los cuatro vientos  y que no se callen nunca, que sonrían y que se llenen de paz con la belleza que nos brinda Lanzarote y su naturaleza.
That they are not alone... that they unleash their inner flamenca A strong and self-confident woman, the director of their own life. That she clings to the ground with temperance and ready to scratch at any moment if necessary and fight life with the best smile... 

”

I have experiences and anecdotes to tell all women; the neighborhood ones, the rich ones , the conflictive ones, the addicted ones, etc. And always with my motto that to run away from any situation, the best thing is to practice athletics! … My uncle used to called me Dance Athlete, he said; As long as you have strong legs and a strong heart, you can fly! .

INTRODUCTION
Esther Ponce's experimental Flamenco is ready for the Valencian Director of Tourism to meet

It is very gratifying to have an idea like the experimental Flamenco in Valencia, carry it out and have managed to attract more than 20 foreign clients to Valencia in a short time and without marketing, who have passed through the Flamenco Art Center, and who have not only They learned a lot if not they have returned to their country with a better concept of Valencia.

His experience and approach to flamenco led by Esther Ponce will make you return without hesitation to the city of Turia.

Esther Ponce not only surrounds them with her passion and charisma from the first moment, her professionalism and a very long journey through different countries of the world where she has lived for long periods, she makes them fall in love.

You just have to read the dedications of all the foreigners who write in their precious notebook created for them and that are already adding more and more.

«They also buy semi-professional shoes and a skirt to study with me.» That’s already the best! –
~ Esther Ponce

 The foreigner is used to teaching flamenco very quickly and without discipline, anything goes, any shoe, any skirt, hanging out even parodying and even ridiculing flamenco.

With me if they want to study two private hours which is the minimum, they are given the option of buying or renting the shoes and none of them have thought twice about it to this day.
 
«Being a polyglot, doors just open up to me» –
~ Esther Ponce
 
Definitely the Experimental Flamenco of Esther Ponce has an Angel!

From England, without a doubt the most special Experimental Flamenco we have had at the Flamenco Art Center in these two and a half years.

The Esther Ponce Stylized Flamenco Art Center has been open for two and a half years. El Ángel Every August 28, for Esther’s birthday, a new foreign student gives her a gift and the flamenco toast intensifies.

«The students do not want to miss the opportunity to study with me. When they start to study my technique they are hooked at the first second. Those who play sports and take care of themselves immediately identify with my stretching and feel safer for the rest of the class and those who don’t appreciate it and will surely start practicing it and taking care of themselves forever »
~ Esther Ponce

This year Esther thought that her Angel would be very busy due to the current pandemic situation and also that it would be a coincidence that another year happened.

But to Esther’s surprise it was like that and without doubt the most special flamenco toast for England.

«Discipline is my hallmark and not even the Covid has stopped us» «I have never doubted it and I will only teach classes with a mask»
~ Esther Ponce

After the experience of teaching classes with a mask? A private flamenco class for two hours without stopping, does Esther remember that when she and the student went out into the street they breathed for two seconds as if there were no tomorrow?According to Esther’s recent experience, with the mask you cannot see the total expression of the student, but the eyes also speak and flamenco is also expressed with the body.

With all the safety measures, the student disinfected her shoes, put hydroalcoholic gel on her hands, a temperature control was performed with a non-contact forehead thermometer and the student did not remove her mask during the two hours, only in the changing room that she only used to drink water. 

“Now I can present my Experimental Flamenco to the director of Tourism of Valencia and let him roll with the little ham :)”
 
~ Esther Ponce
