Tino van der Sman

Ever since, he has developed himself as a flamenco artist, taking classes with great masters as Gerardo Núñez, Paco Jarana, Manolo Franco or Miguel Ángel Cortés.After graduating at the Rotterdam conservatory in 1999, he leaves for his
permanent stay in Seville, where he obtains a scholarship at the Cristina Heeren foundation. It is only one year later when he himself is teaching at the very same foundation.
