“Pilar’s Flamenco Summer Camp of 2015 was a truly great experience! It was everything I had envisioned it to be and so much more: working four hours a day on various aspects of Flamenco, each of us receiving encouragement and individualized instruction as needed and appropriate for our various levels of experience in a non competitive, welcoming environment. It was a great female-bonding experience. Pilar is such a GREAT teacher, very approachable, an excellent communicator, understands English, and her choreography is sooooooo passionate and inspiring—explosive at times, and then suddenly so delicate—it’s just absolutely beautiful, and while it can be challenging at times, it still feels attainable, because she takes her time teaching it to you; she WANTS you to get it… she knows HOW to teach, and she constantly fine tunes the pace of the class. This workshop was also great because it was so well-balanced in the sense that we had ample time to do other things the rest of the day, every day, so it really felt like a ‘Flamencation’: daily Flamenco intensive, then time to shop for Flamenco clothes, or do some sightseeing, enjoy delicious tapas, or go swimming in the Mediterranean… all of this with some new, like-minded friends; it was an unforgettable, truly wonderful experience!!!”

Flamenco Summer camp in Alicante will take your breath away…literally and figuratively!  Having the opportunity to concentrate on your  technique, rhythm and form in this one week intensive is the equivalent to taking a year’s worth of classes!

Steps learned in class becomes comprehensible because you don’t have the lag time in between learning and mastering.  The 4-5 hours in the class each day allows you the opportunity to matriculate the gait and tempo as well as clarifying any mis-steps.  On top of all this the location is in one of the most exquisite setting in Spain!    At the end of the week you are more empowered and wanting mas y mas!

“A week alone with only adults, all of whom seemed to know each other, did not seem like the perfect time for a teenage girl. Or at least so I originally thought. The week that followed was-despite my preconceived notions-absolutely incredible. I had not realized how much I had missed dance, but the early mornings and drives melted away with the rush that came from the music that flowed from the speakers as well as Andujar´s voice. It seemed almost magical the way she could hold herself with such control and simultaneous abandon when she danced. Her passion for flamenco was utterly contagious and the dance I had previously not appreciated fully became a daily urge that the camp fulfilled. It was as if I had the opportunity to become more powerful with each step and each new day of classes. This camp made me realize the power of powerful dance. Flamenco is about owning your body the way it is, and being the controller of everything about you. This camp helped me find rhythm and movement I didn’t realize I had in me. Her acceptance and determination to help everyone in the camp was inspiring. She hit every skill level without leaving anyone to isolation. The camp was about love, dance, and passion for each movement. By the end of the week I felt that every part of me was intertwined into some new possibility of what I could be. I felt strong-though lets be truthful more than a little sore-and awake to the new possibilities that surrounded me. This camp was one of the most incredible things surpassed only by Pilar Andujar herself..”
