Baila Conmigo International Dance Group

I started learning Flamenco at CIF since last year. Before that I have never danced ever, but I have been having soooo much fun at CIF! I’m taking the Level 1 class with some other students, and we come with different learning speed and experience, Andreana and Debra somehow find the magic way to make sure we all learn something new in each class, and we all feel proud of our progress! Also love the Tech & Condition session before each class. You’re not just learning the choreography, you’re actually learning the fundamentals of Flamenco, how to move your wrists, fingers, legs, and feet in the correct way to flamenco elegantly.

I love my instructor Andreana. She really took her time to teach me flamenco. I’m a very slow learner and I’m very new into dancing so I appreciate her patience and encouragement so I can follow the steps. I look forward to practice more flamenco Ole!!

I have the pleasure of taking flamenco guitar lessons with Andreana Cortez at the Colorado Institute of Flamenco (CIF), and I can confidently say that she is the best instructor I've ever had. Andreana is incredibly talented and has a deep understanding of the flamenco style, capturing the essence of its sound beautifully. What sets Andreana apart from my previous instructors is her patience and ability to emphasize technique, which is essential for playing pieces fluently. She takes the time to ensure you understand each element of the music, making the learning process enjoyable and effective. Her teaching style is both engaging and relevant, allowing students to truly connect with the art of flamenco. Additionally, Andreana's lessons are reasonably priced, making high-quality instruction accessible to everyone. Beyond her expertise in guitar, Andreana is multifaceted and excels at teaching flamenco singing (cante) and dance (baile) as well. Her versatility and comprehensive knowledge of flamenco make her an exceptional instructor in every aspect of this beautiful art form. I highly recommend Andreana Cortez to anyone looking to learn flamenco guitar, singing, or dance. She is truly exceptional and has made a significant impact on my musical journey.

I’ve been learning guitar from Andreana for the past 2 years and I’m thankful for this school! You won’t regret learning and being part of those flamenco community!
