 What to Wear

 You should wear (prefer black) leotard, flamenco practice skirt or a regular black circular skirt, dance shoes or regular medium heeled closed toe shoe (for beginners who don't have flamenco dance shoes). I do have a few Quo Vadis and Triana brand flamenco dance shoes available. You should acquire dance shoes as soon as possible. No big jewelry please, this can cause accidents to you or to others. Wear your hair away from your face in a bun or pony tail. Men can wear jogging pants or dance pants and tee-shirt; comfortable clothes that do not impede movement and that I may see your body placement. All students should wear support girdles, dance trunks, or a tummy support, especially when doing heavy footwork (inter. & advanced). Also Bring face towel.

     "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain." 

 "My foundation, structure, and compas in Flamenco is Lucia Rodriguez. Lots of dancers teach choreography, Lucia guides you to understand and create your own! I learned to be inspired by others but to always express my own Duende! Lucia is my Maestra and my rock!"........ Sianey Montesdeoca (former student), New York, NY

    Why Dance? Fun. Release stress. Find inner peace. Good exercise. Move to the rhythm.

  "Lucia loves sharing her vast knowledge of Spanish dance and music. With her personal instruction,  I quickly learned about the many regions and their dances. I look forward to completing each class accompanied by live guitar and cante! Lucia offers the opportunity to learn the art of true Flamenco." ..... Marie Laplante (present student)
