Feedback
- We couldn't have been more pleased. It was a delight dealing with these performers from the booking to the actual performance, which was wonderful. They are a very talented duo and I would recommend them to anyone. We were more than satisfied. -- Phyllis H, Los Angeles, CA, 11/19/2011
- Cuatro Caminos performed Flamenco for my mother's 60th birthday in a small venue. Karina and her guitarist, Santiago, were both excellent performers and Karina was extremely accomodating to all my requests. -- Lisa S, Newport Beach, CA, 11/20/2010
- Very accomodating and easy to work with. Great experience. -- Georgia C, La Canada, CA, 3/22/2008
- I loved their performance. The guitarist was awesome and the flamenco dancer was great. I would've like to see some "castañuelas". But me and my guests really enjoyed their performance. Also, they were on time and had a lovely attitude. -- Rossana C, Carlsbad, CA, 7/28/2007
- Hi Karina,
You were both just AWESOME. I wanted to personally thank you for adding the great touch of the mermaid dance for the girls at the Bat Mitzvah, I know the parents really appreciated that extra touch of teaching the kids a couple of Hawaiian dances. Everyone enjoyed it.
You were on time and very dependable and I thank you for your total professionalism. We could tell that you were both experienced Dance Teachers and loved what you do .
Terrie and I were so relaxed and really enjoyed working with you motivating the kids and parents to dance and having fun.
We will highly recommend you in the future to all our future clients.

- Wow! I wasn't sure at first if only two Hawaiian Dancers would be impressive enough for my event but I could only afford two. I took a chance and it was one of the best shows like it I've ever seen! The dancers were excellent and engaging. Their routine was 30 minutes of solid fun and laughter. Everyone loved the show. The dancers greeted everyone beforehand with leis and afterwards took pictures and never seemed rushed. Very friendly, very talented. I can't wait to have them back! Thanks Gig Masters I will always use your service when planning my events! -- Barry B, Long Beach, CA, 5/20/2010
