Olivia Chacon helped make dance a beautiful and special part of my life. I took flamenco lessons in Spain when I studied abroad for a semester, then couldnt find a place to continue learning when I got back to the states.Finally, when I moved to Austin, I stumbled upon Flamencura. And Im so glad I did. Olivia holds consistent, weekly classes for four levels of adult students, and one for kids, plus Saturday specialty classes, so its easy to find the right class for you.Her classes are always the right balance. They continually challenge you, but dont push you past your limits. You really learn and grow as you go along. I also love that she mixes technique with choreography. Its really fun to learn full dances and then get to perform them for your family and friends.She also makes sure you understand the why of flamenco. Shell often give mini-lessons about the origin of a particular type of flamenco, and sometimes quiz you on what type of flamenco is playing during a warm-up.Ive enjoyed my time at Flamencura so much and am so grateful to have Olivia and her studio in Austin! Ole!
