Día de Andalucía

What is 'Día de Andalucía'?

'Andalucía Day' is a public holiday celebrated only in the region of Andalucía, Spain. It commemorates the day of 28 February 1980 when the referendum was held for Andalucía to become an autonomous community within Spain.

The region is made up of the eight provinces of Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga and Sevilla (Seville is the capital of Andalucía).

To mark the day, you will see the green and white colours of the Andalucían flag decorating the streets, everyone will be having the day off school and work, and eating the traditional snack of bread or toast with olive oil and a little bit of fresh tomato and jamón serrano. Yumbo. 🥪

Here are 3 reasons why I ❤ Andalucía:

💚 my family come from Seville, which makes me . . . a Sevillana (aka Andaluz)

🤍 a lot of really good flamenco comes from the south of Spain, and

💚 the beautiful and majestic Andalucían dancing horses – I once had the pleasure and honour of dancing in a show with some beautiful riding horses. It was a wonderful experience! See 📷's:

If you've ever felt like you're learning steps...
but not quite understanding what's happening in the dance

You're not alone

Flamenco becomes much clearer when you begin to see how the music, singing, and movement fit together

That's what we work with inside The Online Dance Studio

A space where dancers learn to listen, recognise, and respond
— not just remember

A space where you can finally hear what's going on

— and know what to do with it

Hi, I'm Belinda

I teach flamenco in a way that helps dancers understand what they're doing and why, so they can dance with intention and enjoyment

Many dancers tell me after taking my lessons they suddenly think: "Oh... now I understand what's happening."

That moment never gets old
