I was unable to reach "Flamenco in Canada.htm" so perhaps there is more to the address? The singer and musicians with your daughter were also commendable - I did not immediately see notes about who did what, and where the performance occurred (in Spain, I suspect). A very fine ensemble all together.
I intend to move to B.C. within the next year or two... I've friends who are nearby, and had composed for a friend who taught at Simon Frazer. I believe her daughter is teaching there now (and that's where my stepdaughter also studied dance a bit). I'll be north of Victoria rather than on the Vancouver side.
Best regards
When I am next in Montréal I will take opportunities to find a club, and perhaps sometime will encounter your daughter. There is a small flamenco scene in Minneapolis USA I understand, and perhaps other small pockets of capable performers here and there that I may be able to travel to. Mili Bermejo has offered to teach me privately in the summers, if I can improve upon my Spanish. 8-}
Best regards.
