La Tania Baile Flamenco

She is the best… dancer and teacher.

How fortunate to have La Tania as an incomparable dancer and an excellent teacher in Bay Area!!! What ever level you are, she inspires you and guides you constantly. She teaches not only choreography but also how you should be as a performer — from being on time to how important to be aware of music and collaborate with musicians on stage. She shares her knowledge, experience, and love of flamenco with students and community very generously. I started flamenco after inspired by her performance in 1999 and still love studying it with her. Highly recommended!!!

I was at a community art event a few years ago, and there were four flamenco dancers tearing up the floor (literally…the walls and floor were covered in white paper). I was moved by the the passion, energy, and catharsis. It wasn’t until after I started taking Tania’s class that I found out she was one of those inspiring dancers I had seen!
Tania is a phenomenal dancer and teacher. In her classes you’ll learn both technique and attitude. It doesn’t matter how experienced you are (or aren’t) or how quickly you learn. I’m a looooong way from being able to express myself the way those dancers did at the art show, but I’m happy to be on my way under Tania’s guidance.

LaTania is not only an incredible performer, she is a gifted and inspiring dance instructor. Her classes are very well organized and focused on teaching proper flamenco form, technique and beautiful choreography for students at all levels of experience. The classes are also fun and a great workout, and if you’ve never taken a flamenco class before, beware, flamenco is highly addictive!
Bonus — most of her classes are accompanied by excellent live guitar.

Tania is an AMAZING teacher and mentor. Her classes range from absolute beginners all the way through advanced /​performance-​level, so they can be accessed by students of varying levels. She excels at breaking down moves into easily absorbed bits, and she is also able to finesse her descriptions of body positions and maneuvers to the advantage of true learning of aesthetics and kinesiology. Somehow, almost magically, she creates a learning atmosphere that is so supportive and full of, gosh I don’t know what to call it other than «love,» that the vibe in her classes transcends competition or other negativities that I have experienced in other dance class settings. If you’re lucky enough to get into one of her classes, your life will change. Seriously.
