Hi there!

Welcome to my Free Flamenco workshops!. I'm a professional Flamenco dancer and a registered oncology specialist nurse. Apart from supporting my patients during these uncertain times, I'm offering free virtual flamenco classes, home-friendly and free for everyone. I believe we should support each other in these frightening times and raise against isolation giving the chance to interact with each other even in a virtual world. The classes will be always free of charge but donations through Just giving for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity Covid-19 appeal are truly appreciated.

If you enjoy the classes and you are able to, please consider helping others as an appreciation of my classes. Donating to Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity COVID-19 emergency appeal is a great way to help. Right now, the NHS is under severe strain and children are being transferred from hospitals across London to GOSH so space in those hospitals can be freed up to focus on adults with COVID-19.

GOSH is doubling its intensive care capacity to make sure we have room for the UK’s most seriously ill children. The hospital's incredible staff are working around the clock, under huge pressure, to guarantee children at GOSH receive the care they need in these most difficult times. They urgently need support in whatever way we can as they cope with the crisis at this time and beyond. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
