“I am still learning.” Michelangelo
A teacher has many roles and responsibilities. My role is to guide and facilitate learning, of course, but my hope is to also inspire and ignite a lifelong passion for dance and movement.
By leading the student into a deeper understanding of flamenco, I want to enrich the dancer’s own expression, improve confidence and help them reach their full potential in a rewarding, enjoyable environment.
The wonderful and unique thing about flamenco is that it comes from deep within, embracing all ages, shapes and sizes.
Absolutely everyone is welcome to experience this passionate art form!

Groups with particular needs:
I truly believe in the power of dance, for mental and physical well-being, but have also witnessed how flamenco, in particular, goes beyond the ordinary benefits of dance. Deep-rooted in gypsy culture – its history of hardship and persecution, joy and family celebrations – flamenco is a vehicle for life expression. Recent work with vulnerable members of the community, evidences how flamenco – its pulsating rhythms, earthy movement, and strong, expressive language – can be a great life-enhancing tool, raising self-esteem, boosting energy and enabling the individual to flourish.
