“Laura’s lessons were easy to follow and exactly as challenging as expected for the level advertised. She cultivates an encouraging and fun culture within her student group and I really enjoyed the experience.”
“I’m thrilled to have found Laura to study with. In the super intimidating world of flamenco, Laura’s down-to-earth teaching style is refreshing and puts me at ease. I’ve had serious anxiety showing up to flamenco classes around the country, enough to make a girl want to run and give up completely. Laura is warm, nonjudgmental and humble, making her corrections easy on a dancer. And she has beautiful flamenco lines to watch and absorb, so important.
Laura has a super rare and highly marketable niche in the flamenco world. She’s breaking down the structure and language of flamenco for those of us who weren’t raised in the culture. It could take me years to crack this code on my own. It’s exactly what I need, and exactly what I’ve been looking for. She’s bringing the culture to us, serving it up in bite sized portions, even spoon feeding it when necessary. So grateful!”
