A summer afternoon, a large stage in Akabane Elementary School's grounds and an enthusiastic crowd made this a joyful performance.

Miguelón joined the third full rehearsal, enriching the music. During preparations, rehearsals with all four artists were announced for that week; at that point, the performance was three days away.

The same soleá revealed a different atmosphere: a quiet opening, a powerful closing stretch, and Beni’s steady concentration throughout rehearsal and performance.

We presented 17 costumes blending flamenco and kimono. The audience praised クロスさん, and the embassy asked us to perform again at another of its events.

Following Beni’s singing and rhythmic handclapping, we explored the tangos groove, choreography for the sung verse and upper-body movement.

Through a slow-tempo fandango choreography, students explored body movement, weight shifts and flowing arms for more natural, expressive dancing.

On Monday, December 19, 2022, Beni invited the studio’s teachers to a yakatabune dinner filled with beautiful Tokyo views and gratitude.

A T-shirt that brought everyone together, a dressing-room rose, and Beni’s makeup lessons: O shares recital memories in this 2022 testimonial.

An hour felt like five minutes. With Maestro Beni, I learned to listen, observe and express the flamenco I admire, while reflecting on the lyrics' background.
