Testimonials
Maria explains steps carefully (step by step). Repeats as necessary. It is really great to have whole choreography while learning level 1. Maria makes all efforts to have online students involved in the class.
Marel was absolutely amazing. She made me feel comfortable in class and provided great feedback and instruction. Coming into a ballet class in a studio as an adult male was daunting so having a comfortable atmosphere was perfect.
This was such a great class. I learned so much and had a lot of fun. The instructor was amazing, even better than I had imagined. I’m excited to continue learning. Also, a very good value.
I couldn’t have asked for a better start in flamenco. Karen, our teacher is patient, attentive, and kind. She made me feel really comfortable in class and I’ve learned so much already. Totally grateful!
Loved the course! Thank you Maria, for your wonderful teaching style, you have great patience, attitude and energy
