Currently, I am based in Calgary, Canada, and I offer a combination of regular flamenco dance classes, specialized workshops, and one-on-one training.

I have over ten years of experience in teaching flamenco classes as a guest instructor at varios dance schools and as an instructor and co-director of the Fiona Malena Flamenco Academy (Calgary, Canada). Currently, I am offering classes focused on integral approach to flamenco as a language and include thorough analysis of all the elements: dance, singing, guitar, and palmas. All my classes also include strong technique component aiming at challenging students in a safe and growth-oriented environment. My goal to provide well-rounded flamenco training to my students emphasising musical aspects of flamenco dance. To this end, I also offer regular workshops in bulerias por fiesta, palmas, compas and rhythm. These workshops are appropriate for anyone who would like to enjoy flamenco as an art form, dancers, musicians, singers. As my students advance in their flamenco journey, I also offer them opportunities to join my cuadro at my regular tablao performances.

If you have a specific challenge that you would like to address, I also offer one-on-one training through private classes.

Shoot me a message with your ideas and we can go from there.
