Compania Carmen Romero & School of Flamenco Dance Arts

Compania Carmen Romero & School of Flamenco Dance Arts Compañía Carmen Romero is a Spanish dance and music collective based out of Toronto, Canada. Dance International

Originally founded in 1986 by Carmen Romero who is of Spanish heritage and was raised in Canada. They have created full length productions as well as short works in film and theatre that have been showcased nationally and internationally. "The exclusive focus and depth of Romero’s commitment to the art of flamenco is not just understandable given her family heritage, but somehow fitting and more a

uthentic. She truly belongs to the history of flamenco in a way not easily achieved by non-Spanish dancers."

Here is a little inside scoop to my process when I teach intensive workshops.

This week I had a pleasure to work with Emerge Dance Project and their awesome dancers. I taught two classes, one for young dancers and the second for the teens.

They came in with great energy, which made this process so much more powerful and creative.

I really enjoy teaching and seeing the evolution of a Dancer and more importantly witnessing them as people coming through in their movement and the way they express themselves.

🥰 There is a wonderful expression in Spanish:

“Cada maestro tiene su librillo.”
“Every teacher has their own book of rules.” 📖

Those “rules” are shaped by a teacher’s experience, education, training, and personality. We all have our quirks… and this is one of the ways I happily nerd out! 🤓🥰

I’m a goal-oriented person with a degree in Psychology and over 20 years working in brain injury rehabilitation—all while building my Flamenco dance practice. So… what do you think I end up talking about in class? 😉💃

🥰 Why Repetition Matters

In Flamenco, technique isn’t built by chance—it’s built through intelligent repetition.

Every correct repetition strengthens the neural pathways in your brain. As those pathways become more insulated by the myelin sheath, your movements become faster, cleaner, more coordinated, and more effortless.

That means every braceo, every zapateado, every marcaje, every vuelta, and every correction has a purpose. You’re not just learning steps—you’re training your nervous system. 🧠✨

I have developed a technical turning sequence designed not only to improve coordination but also to help dancers gradually habituate their sense of spinning. 🥰 It has been incredibly successful, especially for dancers who are sensitive to turns.

These are Vueltas Normales from the Spanish dance repertoire, and they’re really starting to look beautiful! ❤️

Remember: repetition of good form is everything. Don’t run through an exercise casually or “just to get it done.” Your body learns exactly what you repeat. If you practice with intention, you’ll perform with intention. 💪✨

Practice with purpose. Repeat with precision. Build technique that lasts. ❤️

🥰 We’d love to welcome you this Fall. Come train with us and discover what focused, intelligent practice can do for your Flamenco. 💃❤️

Today I was feeling inspired to just go with the flow. I love working with Richard Maddock 6/8. I use it from
time to time to work on rhythmical development outside of Flamenco.

This is called Spanish dance, not Flamenco. It is when we use the language of Spanish dance mi enemy to interpret musical compositions. Flamenco interprets song and their structures.

This year I have added Spanish dance to my repertoire in the school.

It is a great way to develop your sense of choreographic flow.

Here I’m completely improvising letting my body go wherever it falls I’m trying to create shapes, ideas and feelings as it all unfolds in the music.

Check out my summer intensive program for the month of July only. Go to www.carmenromero.ca. If you have any questions reach out to me I look forward to dancing with you.💃
