As a performing artist and choreographer I work to develop & bring innovative shapes, ideas, movements to Flamenco
Dance Theatre,  transforming them with references to contemporary and folkloric formats.
My works are usually experimental and original, often explosive, yet elegant.  I  embrace collaborating with other professional
artists pushing the boundaries of Flamenco fusion through  performance, often by improvisation.
I am a Flamenco artist  representing my  Spanish cultural art form continuing in the footsteps of my artistic family in Granada
and I bring a contemporary Australian edge, often delving into thought & sensory provoking works.

My Flamenco works and performances explore ones spirituality and self  through the Music & Dance, -  A spirit overtakes your
senses and you become one with the music and the song....   I can best describe the feeling of this as another level of
existence, an artistic existence which results in a unique individual expressive freedom.  This expressive freedom is not just
related to movement,  but to seeing and hearing clearer, a complete awareness of the world, while being detached
momentarily from it ..

Flamenco is not a rushed education therefore I encourage all my students who wish to reach an advanced level in this form
to master patience and possess humility, it is then  'Arte' will come'....  

I have actively been a teacher for over 20 years.  I offer my dedicated assistance where I am able to make a contribution in the
process of each individuals  development, education and artistic fulfillment in this expressive form....
