"I have suffered more than 10 workplace harassment of very famous people from the world of show business".
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.
2. Film & TV director. The Creep.
The monster was mega famous and called auditions in Madrid, for one of the contest that has made the most impact in the history of Spanish TV and that even its TV host, today continues to appear in current programs.
The brother of the creep, had been a formal boyfriend of my Godmother, who works watching ballets on Spanish TV and who decided to send him a letter letting know that his goddaughter would appear at those auditions.
We never knew if that letter came into the creep’s hands. But, if it did, it would be even more disgusting what he did.
The audition was held in dance studios, they were huge and had several floors.
We started super early with modern dance. I was a little nervous because it wasn’t my discipline, because I wasn’t used to auditioning with so few clothes on; the maillot , the stockings and super high Hills pumps. Also because the choreographer was very well-known and demanding. There were so many of us from all over the world that it lasted all morning.
My turn came from the last ones, we were going from 10 to 10, and the creep, looking at me, told me; I can tell that you are a flamenco dancer...try to do it again without moving your hands so much. I did it alone in front of everyone and at the end he wrote down the huge number that I wore in his notebook saying at the same time, that he would see if I was a good actress in the next test... Up to
The chosen ones were made to wait in a reception for a long time and with a whole team working non-stop, and they would go calling one at a time to go down to the ground floor where the offices of the creep were at the end of a very long corridor to sign the contract.
I was super happy, I couldn’t believe it, it was like living a dream because I knew that my life was going to change and that the creep had seen in me a different style than the others, that he would explode and even if it had nothing to do with Spanish dance, would make me famous and would be a huge career leap.
When I heard my name, I ran down and at the door of the office was a man who invited me in, closed the door and stood on it like a bodyguard .
The creep was sitting on a huge wooden table full of piles of folios, there were no windows or natural light, he told me to sit next to him to talk about the role he had thought for me.
It was summer and it was very hot down there, we had a good time exchanging opinion until I noticed how the creep moved my chair to bring it closer to his and in a matter of seconds, he put his hand under my skirt straight to my private parts.s I felt his disgusting hand, my body began to tremble, but I unleash my inner Flamenca , jumped, and without stopping screaming I took a marble paperweight that I had right in front and threw it to his face. Thank God the creep dodged it, because if not, I would have made famous but in prison for killing the most famous TV director in Spain. Because it would be their word against mine and they would never agree with me.as lucky enough to walk out the door, while the warden went to help the creep who fell on his back. When I went up screaming and out of control, I told the girls who were left, please don’t come down, that guy is a pig! ... But immediately I had the guardian glued to me, who took me out of there very delicately avoiding the scandal.
I could never report what happened because I had no proof and I was afraid my artistic career would be ruined.
Every time I watched the pageant on TV, I just wanted to puke and think about what might have happened.
After a short time and things of fate, I worked for America on tour with a dancer who had been in the same auditions. I opened up to her by telling she what happened to me with the director, the creep, and what was my surprise when she confessed to me that the same thing happened to she as to me, but , she did it! and the guardian left the office to stay out watching that no one entered while the creep finished his job with she.
The reason she gave me why she did it was that she had lost her father, that there were 7 younger brothers who lived in a village in Andalucía and that she was the only one who could support her family.But that she regretted very much and that if she could give the time back, she would not do it again, because on top of doing it by force, they gave her an excuse and she was left without signing the contract and without being famous.
ADVICE : Never walk into an office with someone who’s blocking the door. Make an excuse and get out of there immediately even if it’s your dream to sign that contract.
If they are interested in hiring you, they will call you and look for you and you will unleash your inner Flamenca , believing in you and you will put your conditions without fear of anything or anyone.
Be careful of the powerful men who promise to make you famous. You know what they want in return. If you give it to him, you’ll be raped and without a contract.
TODAY : I would have denounced him right away, even if it was my word against the foul one and the authorities would not listen to me. Because I’m sure some girl would listen to me and spread the word.
And remember! Always keep your phone in your pocket in silence and video mode to record everything that happens in an office just in case.

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.

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! .

«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.
«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.
