New York Dance Classes

New York flamenco workshops are taught by Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana Company Members. Maya de Silva is our main teacher, and has been leading these workshops since 2005. Ms. de Silva teaches dance technique and choreography with a strong focus on musicality, creativity and cultural background of flamenco. Workshops are accompanied by a guitarist.
