Teacher Appreciation - Pay What You Can Tuesdays!
Learn Flamenco stress free with a focus on expression and musicality! Or just come have fun with some Afro/Street Jazz/Pop choreographies.
One teacher from another, I know how MUCH we work, how MUCH emotional labor goes into our job and JUST HOW MUCH we need an affordable break to do something for ourselves with people who understand exactly why we need a creative outlet for ourselves to grow and connect vs driving others to it for 60hrs a week with very little pay, or downtime leaving us totally depleted! The suggested donation is $10.00 a class, 5:30 to 6:30 for Afro/Street Jazz/ Pop Fusion and 6:30 to 7:30 for Flamenco, but if you can't afford that still ...JUST COME! Everyone is welcome! Spend an hour a week with like minded people doing something completely absorbing and enjoyable that allows you to disconnect from work and worry. Currently the studio is small and space is limited, so shoot me an email at contactflamencoforlife@gmail.com to reserve your spot. If there is enough interest, I'm looking forward to renting out a studio space to accommodate everyone! You don't need special clothes or shoes to start out. Just bring yourself and a readiness to let go of the outside world for an hour and be transported into the fun, rich, textured and passionate world of dance! !
