Belinda has been dancing flamenco since the age of 10 and is passionate about helping other aspiring dancers learn flamenco without spending years to master the basic skills. 

Her focus in teaching online has been on helping other flamenco dancers learn how to improvise in flamenco!

Which means learning how to listen and respond to the music and the singing - because flamenco is about more than learning set choreography to set music. Only this seems to be one of Spain’s best kept secrets 😉 Not anymore, thanks to The Flamenco Coach!

Learning this skill as a beginner is going to put you way ahead of the game. Or if you’re an intermediate or experienced flamenco dancer, learning how to improvise will deepen your understanding of all the flamenco palos (dance styles). In 2024, Belinda will also be providing intro lessons for new beginners with a focus on learning how to dance flamenco.
