I have been studying with Sra. Enrique since 2011, and I have learned more than flamenco form and rhythm from her. Whether you've just discovered flamenco or have been dancing for years, the Academy of Spanish Dance is a great place to further your learning.
Stephanie Bene
Great place to learn flamenco! The classes are fun, and the instructors also make sure you are having fun and learning. They are passionate, and they care. Will be taking classes here again!
Diana Brown
Great place for learning flamenco! the teachers are great, classes with Sra. Esmeralda are a bit strict but i believe that flamenco is a dance that reacquires straight and that strict teacher is exactly what it needs! Highly recommend it!

I took classes from a teacher from this school in Burlington years ago and she was amazing. The classes were fun, a great work out and I learned a lot, so when I moved to Toronto I was excited to get back into things and signed up for the beginner classes at this school. I was in Esmeralda's class (the beginners' class) and it was so awful. I signed up for the classes to get some exercise and have some fun. I guess I missed a few steps because the next thing I know, Esmeralda is stopping the whole class and telling me to do it again, by myself in front of everyone. She made me do the steps again and again until I got it right and of course because this was so utterly humiliating I couldn't get it right and kept making mistakes. When I trained with the other teacher, I had no problems doing the steps, following the rhythm and loved it. The class I had with Esmeralda was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life and I left the class in tears. I went back a few weeks later to try a class with a different teacher and still left with such a bad taste in my mouth that I never went back. I didn't even ask for a refund so it was a waste of about $300. I get it, this is an academy and they want students to take it seriously, and I did. I was a bit rusty and getting back into it after not dancing for about 8 years and wanted to improve my dancing and get better. This school may be amazing for some, but my experience with it was horrendous

Esmeralda is such an amazing teacher with so much knowledge! Her flamenco classes go beyond dance, every lesson builds confidence and she teaches powerful life lessons through movement and expression.
