After a year-and-a-half of classes with Rina, I was able to perform my first full-length solo — something I couldn’t have imagined when I started. Now, after six years, I’ve become a much stronger dancer solely because of her teaching, advice, and the performance opportunities she’s given me. Rina is truly a gifted teacher with tremendous knowledge, skill and PATIENCE to train dancers technically while also encouraging them to embrace and develop their individual style — and always in a welcoming, supportive, and FUN class environment! I’m so thankful I chose to begin my flamenco journey with Rina and I’m eager to continue it with her.
