Filming a Mariachi Music Video + BTS Footage (in collaboration with Monze Garcia)
I was given the opportunity to work with my good old friend Monze Garcia on her very first mariachi music video. She was the director and editor of Don Mariachi's music video and made me so special! I've also shared the behind the scenes, from a folklórico dancer's perspective, of preparing for this mariachi music video. Enjoy!

    Etsy sells flamenco shoes but I'm suspicious of their quality. On one pair, the nails (in their photo) didn't appear to be properly spaced and also looked like floor scratchers. Another pair looked as though they've substituted nails for taps, but they weren't tap shoes because holes were punched into the taps I guess to mimic a flamenco sound? I've never seen such a product passing itself off as flamenco shoes.

      I’ve seen a lot of dancers with tattoos in the SoCal area. From my experience, directors are okay with piercings and tattoos as long as you cover up/hide them for performances. I always take out my eyebrow piercing when I perform. ☺️

Im turning 16 do you think it may be to late to learn and im not really sure in where to start as it is broad. I want to learn something more modern but traditional so what lessons should I look for or should I learn all styles? Any suggestions on where I start looking for lessons? I’d really appreciate a reply thank you your videos are really helpful but I’m still confused

    • @carmenxflores
      @carmenxflores 2 роки тому

      Hey Brianna, it’s never too late to get in touch with your heritage! There’s so many aspects to a culture that it’s okay not to know where to start, it’s not an overnight process. I’m always learning something about our culture everyday and there’s still more I need to learn. I recommend you start by tapping into an area that interests you and go from there. Such as the cuisine, language, pop culture etc. I think if you have the resources available to you, I suggest you learn both transitional and stylized folklorico. That way you can broaden your perspective but also learn the traditions. I respect both styles and find both beautiful in their own ways. You can do a quick Facebook or google search for groups in your area, or even just ask those around you! Hope this helps! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

    • @carmenxflores
      @carmenxflores 2 роки тому

      The hair has to be in a base bun due to multiple headpiece changes during a performance. The base bun is what holds the headpieces in place. As for the style of bun, that depends on the group. The purpose of Folklórico makeup or stage makeup really, is to enhance the performers facial features for audience members who are sitting far away. As for style, this also depends on the group.

    Hey, I am someone who dresses like the Edwardian era and I happened to stumble across this video because I am looking for accurate to the time period without paying the price of $250 or above. I want to know if it is acceptable to get dance boots to wear on almost a daily since they are very accurate to what the 1890s-1910s has to offer? I dont want to offend anyone, and would like insight from an inside source.

    • @carmenxflores
      @carmenxflores 2 роки тому

      Hey Nikki! That’s totally fine because folklorico actually has influences from Europe! For instance, our folklorico shoes are actually very similar to flamenco shoes.
