Carmen X Flores

Приєднався 23 тра 2020
Hellllloooo world!
My name is Carmen Xochimil Flores and I have been dancing since I was 8 years old. And I absolutely love to dance.
I started this channel in mind of the little 8 year old fetus Carmen who had no clue what to expect when it came to Folklórico. As I continue to stay active in the community, I noticed this huge problem of beginners being left in the shadows without any guidance on how to navigate our world. And it’s not getting any better.
Here’s everything I wished someone would have told me sooner.
I also enjoy attending raves and traveling, so you’ll see those occasional vlogs as well. 🤗

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!

We out here at the Santa Fe Springs Art Festival! I wish I didn't get off work so late so I could've performed more. But hey that's what happens when you're a working adult that still dances. Aahhh! My first time underground clubbing and warehouse hopping was such a blast. Can you believe I had DnB, RIDDIM, and Techno all in one night! Jeezzz. An unforgettable experience for the books for sure....

What’s your favorite grito?
Sorry, can’t help it, but I LOVE performing on stage. What has been your favorite venue to perform at?
Folk dancers are no stranger to giving up our weekends for performances. What has been your favorite performance?
Should’ve put a flashing light disclaimer 😓 Definitely love the raves at the Queen Mary! Plus, they’re closer to home😅

Thank you so much!!! It really help me. Do you have more technical raza tutorials?
Hello, no I don’t but I will consider it. Since it’s not my work, I want to respect the creator Rafael Zamarripa.
What size of suitcase do you use?
I adjust it accordingly to the amount of vestuarios I’ll be using. I use a carry on when I have about 3 dresses and then I’ll size up to my big suitcase if it’s more than 3. Since I also put my tocados and performance shoes in the suitcase.
@@carmenxflores I’m new! My daughters have a performance next month, they’re 5 and 8 and I’m so excited but clueless! Your videos are excellent and I appreciate you doing this for us all!! Very helpful

I recently just started doing baile folklorico as a college student for the first time and your videos have helped me develop as a dancer so much !!🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Omg my heart 🥺🫶 I’m so glad my videos are helping you!
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.
Oh mine I’m just cringing at the horror!!!!
bellydancer here, that has the opportunity to try folklorico class this Tuesday, and i can not staaand people being loud during practice 😤😤 i have a question and I hope someone here can help me. is it ok for folklorico dancers to have tattoos? i have some tattoos on my arms and legs. i have a feeling I will fall in love with folklorico and do the classes, but will I be rejected for tattoos? thank you if anyone can help answer 🙏
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. ☺️
I’m gonna start next year I’m excited
Yay! Love that for you I hope you enjoy it!
Would you know of a good way to Paint your Botines?
Hello! You would do the same process in this video!
Carmen, I have really been enjoying your videos. I noticed you haven’t uploaded in some time and I hope you will be returning. I was especially looking forward to your reviews on the flamenco/folklorico shoes. I hope you are well!
Hey there! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos and find value in them! Yes, I know it’s been a while but I do plan on returning soon!
in my class I forgot to smile a lot and I always get reminded 🙂! Remember guys baile folkoriko is about being happy so smile!!
I can't wait to start great revival and take all these tips for a chasidic Folklorico dance crew. I was a drama team leader and brought many to Jesus through acting out songs about HIM. Your either a witch or a prophet in life and when folks see the true paganism that comes from the manmade religion and holiday beliefs Satan wants worship so we switching up this whole culturally competent generation. We are all Israel or we aren't. God bless sister

Thank you for this video 😂 I’m filling for the mariachi band and I need to learn this lol. Connect with my Mexican ancestors lol
I hope your performance went well!
I’m interested in connecting closer to where I come from my family doesn’t really do much thing cultural or celebrate any holidays I wasn’t taught much Spanish either. 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
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 thanks for the reply I actually found a group on Facebook that let me register for classes in March. I’m doing some camps this summer also to get me closer to the community and culture. I’m glad that I get to connect to something that’s apart of my heritage and as you said it won’t just happen overnight. Thank you however for your comment and suggesting where to look, happy holidays!
Yay! I’m so happy for you and wish you good luck on your journey!
love mexico
How do you clean the inside of the shoes
I have never thought of doing this😳 I will need to do some research and make an updated video !
Do you have any info on why the hair styles and makeup have to be a certain way?
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.
I would love to dance flamenco but I have such big feet size 12 in women's 😫! My mom says not give up but I can't find any in my size . I love your videos your so beautiful. The passion you have for dance is amazing. God bless you always 🙏 ❤
You should check out zapatos de baile flamenco they offer custom sizes! If you’re close to the LA area I highly recommend going to Durans dance shoes in Boyle Heights! And thank you so much for your kind words! It makes me so happy that my videos are helping you out! <3
I love what you said about needing to do gritos during practice. So TRUE.
You perform how you practice!
Thank you so much! This video was super helpful because I’m planning my quinceañera and I want to do ballet folkorico but I don’t really know much about it so I’m teaching myself and your videos are like my safe haven! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad my videos are helping you out. That’s why I made them! To help out beginners feel not so lost! I hope your quinceañera is a blast ❤️🔥🚀
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.
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.
