You've likely read all of the written interviews here with Mercedes. You've probably seen the interview with her husband, Santiago Lara.

And now, here's that video interview with Mercedes that I've been promising you

We filmed it in Jerez one spring just after the Flamenco Tour.

In the video below Mercedes talks about the road to becoming a soloist, the challenges of having her own company, developing her style, navigating motherhood and flamenco dance, collaborating artistically with her husband, what flamenco means to her, what she gains from teaching and her thoughts on teaching those of us who are not pros, and her advice to adults who want to learn to dance.

Oh, and by the way, you'll probably love her even more after seeing this video, so get ready...

What did you think?

Have you ever studied with Mercedes? Ever seen her perform live? Do you have a question for her? I'll be back in Jerez in the fall, and I'd be happy to ask her. Leave a comment below.
