SEE WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING!

"*The* place to learn bata!"

"Michelle is a wonderfully patient, generous and committed teacher. She's blessed with not only being a technically brilliant and expressive dancer, but also the ability to break down difficult concepts, spot what you're doing wrong and takes the time to correct you. I was lucky to start my journey in flamenco with her, and under her careful eye, have developed not only as a dancer but also as a person. Flamenco speaks to me, and I'm grateful that Michelle has been here to help me learn how to answer."

"I thoroughly enjoy Michelle’s classes even though I’m dog-tired on a Friday evening after the work week. It picks me up. Michelle is a great teacher. I do bata de cola classes with her and she really takes the time with technique, which makes all the difference. Plus, we learn lovely choreographies. And the bonus is that the class feels like a mini-family. Newcomers are welcomed into the fold."

"Having gone to flamenco classes on and off for a few years, I have finally found a class that I hate to miss - Michelle is a very patient teacher who gives constructive individual attention and pushes us all to our limits, all in a happy, stress-free, non-competitive environment. Her choreography classes are fun and the technique class is one of the best. And to top it all off, she is an amazing dancer to watch and be inspired by!"

Ester Tal

Ester Tal has studied with some of the most renowned teachers and artists ever seen in Spain: in the capital itself in the famous "Amor de Dios" flamenco school and in Jerez de la Frontera, in Andalusia. Dancers and teachers such as Ciro, Maria Magdalena, Maria Bermudez, Belen Fernandez, Carmela Greco, Manuela Carpio among many others. She has performed in various theatres both in and outside Spain including "El teatro de Burgos", Madrid and Zaragoza and theatres throughout the UK and in major US cities.

She's toured in Spain with Maria Gracia and the Spanish classical singers in "Esas Cosas del Querer", where she performed solo and in duets as support to this very popular Spanish show. Apart from large theatres, she has also danced on the prestigious circuit of more intimate flamenco venues called "peñas" and "tablaos" alongside other well-known flamenco artists; venues highly respected among the flamenco community.

In Jerez, she's danced in "Parilla" tablao, "La Taberna Flamenca" and "La Damajuana" with up and coming artists from Andalusia. In 2005, she was invited to perform with other Jerez artists, (Luis El Mono, Ali de la Tota, Juanilloro etc) in the esteemed annual festival event, "Las Noches de la Plazuela", which takes place in one of the oldest and most prestigious peñas in Andalusia, "Los Cernícalos".

Apart from being an experienced performer, Ester is also a very experienced teacher with students of all abilities and ages. In her flamenco academy, Ester teaches a wide range of ages and levels. Besides her regular flamenco classes, she also teaches specialised workshops for students from first-time beginners to advanced and gives private lessons.
