DANCER AND CHOREOGRAPHER
Flamenco Dance Teacher, Concert Castanets and Sevillanas

Founder and artistic director of the ATIKA Association, solo dancer and choreographer, she trained in flamenco dance with renowned teachers: Angelita Gomez, Matilde Coral, Manolo Marin, Manolete, Blanca del Rey, El Güito, Lola Greco, Maria del Mar Moreno, Milagro Mengibar, the director of the national ballet of Spain Victoria Eugenia, Antonio el Pipa, the choreographers José Granero, Javier Latorre, Eva la Yerbabuena and Olga Pericet.

She began her career as a dancer in the company "Ballet Flamenco de Paris" under the direction of choreographer Patricio Martin in 2001.

From the meeting in 2001 with the guitarist Pascal GAUBERT their artistic paths will take a decisive turn due to a perfect complementarity and artistic understanding. The result is a deep work that can be felt in the dance classes or in the shows in which they perform: from this agreement was born the ATIKA association of which they are still the main driving force with the help of other artists who have since joined.

Maria's solid formation in flamenco and her search for an authentic flamenco, make her an excellent pedagogue much appreciated by her faithful students.

In order to transmit to them an art in the purest tradition, Maria learned to sing to accompany her dance lessons but also during the events and shows in which she participates.
Graduated in concert castanets from the school of Teresa Laiz CID UNESCO after training for almost 4 years, she is part of the “coro de castañuelas de Madrid” under the direction of Teresa Laiz with whom she performs regularly in Seville or Madrid during international meetings or other events to which she is invited. She has become a real reference in Paris, being the only one to have introduced concert castanets to France, the virtuosity of which continues to increase in her hands. She has developed learning at several levels, introduction to concert castanets with scores that she writes herself for her students, then the use of castanets for dance or as a concert instrument to accompaniment to musical works of all types. .
 
Passionate about music, Maria has been taking cello lessons for years with Aurélie Verrier, concert performer and composer with several albums to her credit. The Cello, which she sometimes incorporates into her shows, allowed her to refine the musicality of the singing but also the nuances in the flamenco dance or in the playing of castanets.
A complete dancer, she also teaches Bata de Cola (skirt with train) and manton (shawl).

Classes for children aged 6/10 or with the family

CASTANNET COURSES

These courses are aimed at anyone who has already practiced flamenco dance but also at musicians who simply want to approach the instrument. We will follow a method with scores for percussionists for which some notions of music theory will be given. You will be able to play so-called concert castanets whose surprising virtuosity will enchant you.
