What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?

Flamenco is an art form based on the various folkloric music traditions of southern Spain, developed within the gitano subculture of the region of Andalusia, but also having a historical presence in Extremadura and Murcia. Flamenco is closely associated to the gitanos of the Romani ethnicity who have contributed significantly to its origination and professionalization. However, its style is uniquely Andalusian and flamenco artists have historically included Spaniards of both gitano and non-gitano heritage.

What background, training, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?

Clara Ramona, the esteemed Spanish dancer and flamenco artist with a profound respect for tradition and a liberal and accommodating attitude towards modernism, breaths life to both pure and energizing flamenco thus gaining international recognition for her original stage productions.

She pursued her professional ballet training in Boston before eventually joining the Ramón de los Reyes Spanish Dance Theatre as a principal dancer and choreographer. It was there where she first showcased her artistic choreographic genius with the widely applauded Carmina Burana that had repeated runs in top-notch theatres in the Americas and Europe long after its debut. She established herself in Madrid, the Mecca of flamenco founding her own dance company, Ballet Español de Clara Ramona, through which she has staged productions of critical acclaim the world over for more than 15 years.

Through the years she collaborated with flamenco artists of stature such as La Tati, Tomás de Madrid, and Antonio Alonso, Miguel Ángel and her highly acclaimed sons: Isaac and Nino de los Reyes.

Finish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…

My greater mission is nurturing future world-class talents, previously as a faculty member of the Boston Conservatory of Music and Dance, my alma mater, and the Walnut Hill School of Performing Arts, in addition to leading seminars at the Harvard University Dance Program, Boston University School of Fine Arts, and Bates College Dance Festival. I spend much time traveling to Manila(Philippines), Hong Kong, Xi’an, Beijing(China) and Boston(USA) and conduct frequent workshops and I make it a priority to continually advance the training of my students as they continue to learn about this art form.
