Welcome to Deborah McNamara School of Dance.
The school was founded in 1990 by Deborah McNamara.

CLASSES

Advanced Open Technique Spanish Dance

These classes are a  fusion of Flamenco and Danza Estilizada aimed at experienced dancers who enjoy exploration and new challenges. The accompanying music consists of Spanish rhythmic melodies intertwined with bold, unconventional music, designed to unlock new avenues of self-expression whilst working on challenging technique. Although the anticipated level is advanced, dancers at a higher intermediate level are also welcome. All participants are made to feel comfortable and empowered in an inclusive environment, irrespective of their dance level.

CLASSES

Advanced Οpen Flamenco

Spanning a range of flamenco musical styles, the main goal of the class is for dancers to refine their flamenco dance technique and internalise flamenco rhythms and music. This class simultaneously contextualises flamenco dance within its flamenco's musical heritage through discussions about flamenco music theory.

Expanding the foundation of flamenco dancers, this class supports dancers' precision and skills so that they can better embody the essence of flamenco expression authentically.
