✨ A little message that made me smile today… ✨
“If you see someone without a smile today, give ’em yours.” ❤️
— Dolly Parton

Spotted this at The Lexi Cinema, where some of my lovely students and I will be back on Tuesday to watch Bitter Christmas, the new film by Pedro Almodóvar. 🎬🇪🇸

I always try to bring a smile to my classes, and my students certainly bring so many smiles to me too! 💃🥰 Because flamenco is not only about learning steps and technique; it’s about sharing joy, connecting with each other and creating a beautiful community.

And sometimes that community continues outside the dance studio too! ❤️🎬🍿

📚💃 Always learning, always growing…

Two treasures I brought back from Jerez: Nueva Historia del Flamenco and Figuras, pasos y mudanzas.

For me, being a flamenco teacher also means never stopping being a student, learning about its history, its culture and the origins behind what we dance. 🌹🤓

Reading, researching and always learning so I can keep bringing the very best to my students.👩🏻‍🏫

And perhaps… some new things are coming to our classes soon! 👀💃✨

During my time in Jerez, I couldn’t resist a little escape to beautiful Sevilla. ❤️

And, of course, flamenco seems to follow me everywhere! 💃🏻 I was especially excited to find the statue of the legendary Pastora Imperio, a name that had come up during my masterclasses with La Lupi in Jerez.

La Lupi spoke about Pastora Imperio as one of the great references for the way she moved the mantón, and for the elegance and character of her arms and hands, including that distinctive curved “C” shape of the hand.👌🏼

So naturally… I had to pose with her and try it myself! 😄💃🏻

One of the things I love most about studying flamenco is discovering where the movements we practise today come from. Suddenly, history, technique and tradition connect, from the great maestras of the past, to our teachers today, and then into our own bodies.

A beautiful little flamenco moment in Sevilla. ❤️

Sevilla tiene un color especial… y mucho arte. ✨

✨ Visiting the home of La Faraona — Lola Flores ✨

During my time in Jerez, surrounded by flamenco, learning and inspiration, I couldn’t leave without visiting the Centro Cultural Lola Flores. ❤️

Walking through her story, her costumes, memories and artistic legacy is a beautiful reminder of what made Lola so unique: her strength, personality, freedom and that unmistakable way of living art with every part of herself.

Lola was so much more than a performer, she was pure presence, character and arte. A woman who became an icon while always carrying Jerez and her Andalusian roots with her.

After these wonderful weeks of studying flamenco in Jerez, visiting this space felt particularly special. There is something about this city… flamenco isn’t only something you watch or learn here, you feel it everywhere. 💃🏻🕺🏻

And now I’m back in London, ready to bring all that inspiration and new energy into our classes! ❤️

✨ Come and dance with me every Sunday at

Everyone is welcome, come and discover the joy, strength and arte of flamenco. ❤️
