Maria "la Serrana" is my artistic name as a flamenco dancer. I have my own dance company and tour around the world. When I am in Seville, I teach too. I have been teaching since 1996 and I opened my dance school in Seville in 1999. I am an experienced teacher with both Spanish and foreign students, both absolute beginners as professionals. What I like most is to introduce people to flamenco, see their faces as they get to understand the feeling and tell about the history of this wonderful art. It really makes a difference when you know a little more about the Spanish history and how that had is influence on this wonderful art. Some people love flamenco just by seeing it, and others have to learn to love it, and I will be happy to show you and answer any question you already have or that might pop up. As most of the artists in Seville are my colleagues, I can surely get you a meet and greet, so that you can share your experience with them. Most of the time I will dance myself, since I dance three times a week at my own stage, but I will always ask you beforehand if you would like me only as a guide or both as a guide and an artist. You will get a real inside-experience of flamenco. Since I have lived in England and Holland, I speak English and Dutch too, and some French and German. I hope to see you soon and give you a real Flamenco experience. As a dancer I studied with Farruquito, for eight years, and later with Manuela Carrasco and Matilde Coral. Lately with Adela Campallo Antonio Canales and Manuela Rios. I have been teaching around the world as well, for example in Holland, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Turkey, Malta, Portugal and Usa (New York). I toured the world with 10 productions by Compañia Maria "la Serrana" at important theaters and flamenco festivals I am not a Licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments. I do not have a drivers licence.

Overview of your Seville tour

Learn how to da ce flamenco by a professional artist. As the class is private, you can come alone, as a couple, or as a group of friends. From 5 years onwards, the class will be adaptes to your level and need. If you are a family with children is a really nice, sometimes even hilarious experience. It is lovely to see for the children how mommy and daddy trie to dance with them, and the having fun together actually makes to remember and learn. First, we all dress up with flowers and shawls we can take some pictures of the family, and then we learn how to clap, stamp, be very serious and very naughty at times It is not only for girls, boys have great fun learning abour flamenco to, because it is strong and rhythmical. From 5 years of age.

So I signed up for this as a solo traveler and I was a bit worried it would be weird. But it was amazing! I learned so much about the history of flamenco and its role in the culture here in Sevilla. And learning the dance was a ton of fun. Keep your elbows up though! Maria was an absolute delight and very clear with her teaching. I really felt like this was an incredible way to learn about Flamenco, not just learn the dance. I wish I could take more lessons. This is well worth an hour for anyone interested in learning way more about flamenco than you would at a show. Amazing!

Our entire family scheduled this Flamenco lesson and it was very educational and fun. Maria is a great teacher with lots of patience with the little ones. Highly recommend attending this class with her. It prove to be very helpful when attending a flamenco performance. OBRIGADA!

This was a wonderful experience! Maria was waiting outside of the studio for us when we arrived. She was so knowledgeable and friendly. We are a family of four--mom, dad, sister (11) and brother (9). She involved everyone and showed us a lot about flamenco. We learned a combination to take with us. Maria speaks excellent English with barely any accent, so my children understood her perfectly. This was such an unique experience. We had gone to see a flamenco show a few days beforehand, which was helpful because the kids had a good basis for understanding when she would reference techniques or sounds. There is a small bathroom in the back of the studio, too. It was really hot the day we visited, but it had some air conditioning to compensate. We all had a great time!

Maria is a wonderful person. She made the class fun which is no easy thing with a 12 and 14 year old boys who were shall we say skeptical. 19 year old daughter and my wife could have spent more time with Maria. Thank you for sharing your love for Flamenco!

Wonderful experience learning flamenco moves and understanding more about the history and reasons for the moves. Highly recommend Maria if you want an experiential precursor to getting more out of watching a flamenco show. Maria was really lovely and used stories to help us remember the moves.
