I am not talking about power in a superficial sense, or passion solely in a sexual way but on a much deeper level. To experience the power in your own body, no matter what size, shape, age or gender, the power of your emotional energy, experience and expression. To feel pride in allowing yourself the luxury of expressing the different aspects of your personality through Flamenco. Many people don’t believe that they have the passion within them and don’t feel it’s acceptable to demonstrate their natural pride after so long trying to “fit in” and not to show off. But, through my teaching I have the privilege of seeing students become overwhelmed by how fantastic it feels to let go of their inhibitions and find the “voice” through flamenco to express their pride, sensuality and strength, and discover confidence they never thought they had. Flamenco will give back to you whatever you put in. If what you want is to strengthen your body, increase your stamina and find a fun way to keep fit through dance, then you can achieve this through flamenco. If you are prepared to involve your true personality and emotions as well as your physical energy then flamenco will reward you with so much more.
