Hi! I'm Belinda,

a flamenco dancer living in Perth, Australia 🦘

I've been performing and dancing flamenco for more than 35 years

And now?

I'm your Flamenco Dance Coach!

Why am I for you?

BECAUSE you love flamenco, you've always wanted to learn and now you are!
BECAUSE you danced flamenco in the past, only it's been a little while (oops!) and now you want to get back in to it
BECAUSE you know flamenco is not just a hobby, it's a LIFESTYLE

I'm talking the dresses, the flowers, the costumes, the music, the food, the culture, the warm Andalucían sun and.. the SHOES!!

You feeling me?

Drills and technique are important (of course!) but I know you want to dance flamenco NOW

..not later, after hours of training

And that's what my coaching is all about - teaching you the basic flamenco steps so you can dance flamenco right NOW 💃🏽

🎪 Some Fun Facts about me (to entertain you..)

Fun Fact #1

Probably no surprise but I have been a dancer since I was 2!

I made my debut at the back of my sister's ballet class -- as a non-paying member!!

Fun Fact #2

I studied Maths at uni and am the proud owner of a dusty maths degree.. 🧮 😆

Maths was my favourite subject at school! And I still love logic puzzles.

I won't be bored in my eighties, I'll be using the time to play puzzles. And maybe join the Mensa club 🥸

Fun Fact #3

My grandparents are from Spain, however I was born and have lived my whole life in Australia 🦘

My Nana was from Seville and my Grandad was from Morón de la Frontera (close to Seville)

I've been to both places..

Fun Fact #4

While I did grow up with one Spanish speaking parent -- I never learnt to speak Spanish fluently. I know, shock horror!

You can't really blame us, as kids we were more interested in mucking around than going to Spanish school on a Saturday!

Fun Fact #5

I've been taking tap classes for the last four years (after a nearly 40 year break haha) - its so much fun! 1 - because footwork is my thing so its easy to pick up; 2 - its a challenge because tap is light and bouncy and I'm used to serious and stompy; and 3 - its always a workout!!

Fun Fact #6

I love having 'alone' time!! I am definitely not an extrovert. If I can have just one whole day a week where I don't have to talk to anyone, I am RECHARGED 🔋🔋🔋

Fun Fact #7

I have one beautiful daughter, aged 11!! She is absolutely gorgeous. I am still waiting for her to say "Mum I want to learn flamenco" 💃🏼
