FAQ

How often do you send emails?

I email once a week on Fridays but sometimes when I want to make sure you see something (because there is a special event happening) I’ll email more frequently.

Is it free?

You don’t have to pay anything to receive the newsletter but if you get any value out of it, consider giving some value back. You can return the value you receive by recommending the newsletter to other dancers, leaving a testimonial or by supporting financially. Learn how you can support Flamenco Wayfarer here.

Can I study with you?

Yes. I work with a small group of dancers privately and occasionally teach group classes online or in person. If you’d like to get on the wait list for private coaching click here.

Why ‘Flamenco Wayfarer’?

I chose the name 'Flamenco Wayfarer' to reflect my belief in the importance of exploration and discovery in the journey of studying flamenco. As an art form with deep roots in the oral tradition, flamenco does not have a single source of information that can be relied on. Instead, each student must embark on their own journey of discovery to find 'their flamenco.' This individualised process of exploration is captured in the concept of the 'wayfarer,' which emphasises the value of personal growth and development in the flamenco journey.
