Dance Classes

THE TEACHERS
Elena Lorenzo Varga is a powerful and very talented flamenco dancer with an extraordinary sense of musicality. She has studied in Spain with Manuela Rios, Andres Peña, Carmela Riqueni and Chiqui de Jerez. Elena is also an accomplished singer and cajón percussionist.
Elena is a patient and thorough teacher and above all, she is much loved by all her students. She teaches in Sydney, Canberra and Katoomba.

Veronica Gillmer is one of the very few flamenco dancers in this country who has an extensive history as a professional flamenco dancer in Spain, having worked alongside many of the most famous dancers, singers and musicians – the likes of the famous Camarón de la Isla,
La Tati, Manolete Maya, José Mercé, Paco Cepero and a host of internationally famous artists.

The classes include castanets, “braceo” (arm work) and “zapateado” (footwork) drills and exercises as well as basic flamenco “marcaje” (marking) and “vueltas” (turns). These elements are incorporated into choreographies. All the classes have guitar accompaniment. Students also have several performance opportunities throughout the year and perform regularly for local charities.

At FlamencoVero we believe that flamenco is more than just dancing therefore, Flamenco chorus singing is also included in the classes.
