Flamenco
Flor began dancing in the tablaos of Buenos Aires in 1995. In 2000, she formed her own group, which debuted in the show Rojo Flamenco. She was responsible for the artistic direction and general production. In 2001, she moved to New York to continue her performing career. She continues to explore her interest in producing and directing flamenco shows, bringing the Rojo Flamenco concept to venues such as the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. In 2003, shortly after moving to Madrid, Flor created the concept "Juglar x Flamenco", a project were the main focus is giving foreign dance students or dancers with little experience a plateau to exhibit. Up to this moment the project has proved to be very succesful for a very diverse crowd. In 2006 Flor performed in the well-known and respected tablao "Las Carboneras among others.

Flamenco
How do you dance in a tablao without rehearsal? How do you create a step or choreography? How do you find your own dance style? We will look for our own style and begin to improvise and to play with compás in order to create our own choreographies. To walk, project energy on stage, occupy space, get up from a chair, will also be areas of study. We will work with fragments of choreographies, using them as material to deepen all these themes. The type of flamenco that will be worked on in this class is andaluz (Sevilla, Jerez) and emphasis will be put on finding, through body exercises, the movements which give aire and pellizco to flamenco dance.
