The first ASHEVILLE FLAMENCO FESTIVAL brings us the International Choreographer/teacher/ Dancer DANIELA TUGUES @danielatugues.

Students from beginners to advanced and professionals will be welcome to participate and receive all the information on choreography technique, sing compás guitar and more.

About DANIELA TUGUES
“Dancing her Tientos, Mrs. Tugues was the queen of flamenco. She’s slender, mesmerizing as a classic car, as she leaned back on her majestic torso. Her hands had a twisted beauty, her face a look of sweet pain. Through the fluttering and footwork of her walks, she told us of her life, of her hopes and disappointments.
