Nelida Tirado is a treasure for New York City, with her own great style of flamenco dance. Congrats to WPIX for showing an introduction to her art!
I do not know Nélida but I know Toshiko and she is the best and most passionate flamenco dancer you will ever meet. She is classy, stylish and dances like the angels. Great success for all. Tony Ramírez from Spain.
