What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?
Flamenco and Clásico with castanets are deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of Spain, blending influences from Andalusian and Gypsy. Flamenco is known for its passionate rhythms, intricate footwork, and emotional expression, originating in the southern region of Andalusia. Clásico Español integrates classical Spanish dance with Flamenco elements, often using castanets to enhance the music’s complexity, creating a refined yet vibrant expression of Spain’s rich artistic legacy.

She established herself in Madrid, the Mecca of flamenco founding her own dance company, Ballet Español de Clara Ramona, through which she has staged productions of critical acclaim the world over for more than 15 years.
