What Students Say

Don't take our word for it. Hear from the Students.

Different dancers. Different countries. Different levels.
What they have in common is the experience of learning flamenco with Irene.

“With Irene, you don’t just memorize steps; you learn how to truly dance flamenco.”

“Irene doesn’t just teach choreography — she helps you understand technique, theory, the cante, and the meaning behind each remate. Her explanations and deep knowledge of the palos stay with you long after the class, giving you the tools to dance with awareness and confidence. With Irene, you don’t just memorize steps; you learn how to truly dance flamenco.”

Angela M. — Italy

“I have learn to give my feet a more musical expression, like a voice singing something.”

“Learning with Irene is a complete experience, both during individual and group classes. Her teaching techniques have made my feet sound more musical and my movements more authentic. I don’t just ‘tap my feet a compás’, I have learnt to give them a more musical expression, like a voice singing something. And I don’t just ‘move’, I have discovered the sensations and emotions behind the movements. I have learnt what it really meant to ‘dance with the guts’.”

Marion — France

“I grew both on a technical level and on the understanding level.”

“Irene has a lot of empathy with her students. I immediately liked her way of teaching and thanks to her, I started improving from the real beginning. Irene takes care of each student in detail and without any distinction. Each class is done meticulously, and, thanks to the videos, I can keep on working at my own pace. She always answers my questions and doubts and she helps me trust in myself. With Irene, I made an extremely huge improvement. I grew both on a technical level — vueltas, coordination, footwork — and on the understanding level — listening and dancing to the cante, trying the different options to create a dance.”

Cécile — France

“I know my classes with Irene are challenging me to take my Flamenco to the next level at my own pace.”

“Cuidarte con Arte presents a large variety of coursework that can be completed online live or in recorded formats. She is organized and always responsive if I have any questions. Coursework is consistent and I can feel myself improving. I am in a location where I cannot take classes in person and I know my classes with Irene are challenging me to take my Flamenco to the next level at my own pace. For those who might have concerns about language, Irene is fluent in Spanish, English, Italian, and also Greek. She is patient and encouraging! I would highly recommend her courses!”

ONLINE

Flamenco training, wherever you are.

  • “I've been working with Irene ‘La Sentío’ off and on for about a year. It is great, I've done both her Advanced Technique and Choreography. All online. Because of her excellent studio, camera and sound set up and her ability to answer anyone's questions, if you can't get to Spain you can still get the Spain experience!”

    Kelly H. — Canada

  • The instruction was excellent — clear, concise, well explained, in a variety of modes. The steps were so interesting and original — exactly what I was looking for! In addition, the videography was clear, well lit, the sound quality really good... and Irene's fluency in English an additional bonus!

    — Martine · Canada

  • I have been taking classes from Irene “La Sentío” at Cuidarte con Arte for a number of years. I am so grateful to have found her classes. They not only include choreography and body technique coursework at a level that is rigorous, but Irene is patient and interactive. If I have questions, I always feel comfortable asking. She has numerous palos and courses available. The courses not only introduce you to movement and choreography, but Irene sincerely wants her students to understand the structure and language of Flamenco.

    She does not instruct “in front” of the class, but in a safe and encouraging way, checks for student understanding.

    — Tania · Los Angeles, USA

  • Irene’s online classes have been a real gift to me and I feel very lucky to have found her! As a person and as a teacher Irene has been a revelation from the very first moment: she transmits love, she shares her knowledge with generosity, she has a good sense of humor and she’s so dedicated to each one of the students she looks carefully and with love… this is extraordinary!

    Even if dancing online behind a screen is always a bit difficult, her classes have always gone to my heart and they filled me up with life: we all ended up dancing and having so much fun!!!

    — Sybille H. · Germany

  • At first I thought that learning a choreography by videos would be boring. But that’s not true! Irene explains the steps very well, she shows them in different speeds, from different angles so that you can understand them fully. Furthermore, not only does she explain the steps but also the body movements, their intentions and sometimes she explains the technique of certain movements, turns, etc.

    I like that besides the steps, she explains the “letra” and all the possible structures in the “baile”. When I place myself in front of the screen I feel like I'm in a real lesson!

    — Christin O. · Germany

  • I was so excited to find out Irene is giving clases online, that I can take her lessons even I’m not in Sevilla!! The videos are well organized, that you can repeat over and over until you get it right. And she explains each step in details, from one angle to another, plus some tips to make meaningful movements. Just love watching her movements :)

    — Noriko S. · Japan

  • The bulerías classes without shoes was great because I cannot do footwork in my apartment. I learnt a lot of steps but most of all, how to use them with the “cante”: that was the most interesting to me. Besides, Irene has an excellent pedagogy and she is so patient! I truly recommend her classes!

    — Serena S. · France

  • This is a wonderful option for those who can’t go to an in-person class. Irene makes things easy by showing every step slowly and with the compás very clear. Besides this, she gives clues for the body work, which makes the learning fluent and complete.

    — Paquita · France

  • I like the online course of Irene a lot. The videos are in high quality. Part by part we can learn the choreography. The videos are well structured and easy to follow. The steps are repeated from the front and back. Body language and accents are well explained. Even in less space at home you can learn it. Even if my Spanish is not fluent, I can follow the explanations. We get additional information about “Soleá” and the vocals.

    — Franziska J. · Germany

  • Irene is a wonderful teacher. Her classes have helped me enormously with my technique and understanding of flamenco. She gives detailed explanations and corrections and encourages us to explore the different possibilities within the dance. This is everything I needed to progress technically and artistically.

IN PERSON

Learning with Irene in Seville.

  • I am so thankful and honoured getting taught by the amazing Irene “La Sentío”. She is not only an incredible dancer, but also a brilliant teacher with a lot of heart, experience, understanding and patience. She taught me things I never heard before from any other teacher in the past. I'll definitely come back to Seville to study with her again!

    — Aline · Germany

  • Irene is a great flamenco teacher, her classes are complete; she works on both footwork and body technique, with remates and tools to “bailar al cante”. She has an explosive energy and with her I gained speed and “flamencura”. She teaches with generosity, with her soul and heart, that’s what I love of her the most.

    — Sherine · Spain

  • I appreciated her attention to detail, the technique and she was excellent at deconstructing movements. I appreciated also that her English was so good.

Irene beyond Seville.

  • Irene is an extremely kind and patient teacher with so much knowledge. She is very generous in her teaching, gives good corrections on technique. So pleased to be learning with Irene, her love for teaching and flamenco shines through.

    — Emma · UK

  • Superb pedagogical approach!

    — Marie · Toulouse, France

  • I told my friends, who are also flamenco dancers, about the workshop with Irene “La Sentío” and the incredibly intense experience I had. I spoke about her kindness, her exceptional talent, and, above all, her remarkable ability to be truly attentive and present.

    Irene corrects you with such naturalness and empathy, guiding you without ever making you feel inadequate. She makes you feel seen, welcomed, and supported. It was a deeply positive experience that left me feeling inspired and eager to do it again as soon as possible.

From Our Students

  • Irene is a teacher with a great pedagogy; I took her online classes and I can say they’re comprehensive. She adapts to all levels, she explains everything both dance and singing, and she rocks it! Even online, she takes her time to carefully correct us, one by one. Her classes are very fun and we always enjoy them a lot!

    — Léa C. · France

  • This is a valuable chance for me to study with regularity and to keep on studying and understanding flamenco better. Irene is a committed teacher, who transmits her own style without imposing it but adapting it to the student’s needs and features.

    The classes are well-structured: at the end of each, Irene sends the recording so that you can go through the class again, with good audio and great shots.

    — Sara S. · Italy

  • Irene is the teacher that any flamenco lover needs. She has created a method that really makes you improve your level. After many years studying with other teachers, I was stuck. Since I started with Irene's method, I have seen a real improvement.

    I can attend other teachers’ workshops with more consciousness and less difficulties. Her method makes you improve both body and footwork technique, always along with knowledge of compás and the unwritten rules of flamenco.

    — Angela M. · Italy

  • This course is very well organised, with a good method which enables you to learn the whole choreography on your own, without the teacher but with very clear explanations of each part of the choreography.

    Thanks to the online tutor option, I received useful commentaries about my rehearsal videos, which has helped me a lot in improving different aspects of my dance.

    — Yulia K. · Russia

  • I have always appreciated and followed Irene “La Sentío” as an artist and when I found out the chance to study her material online, I didn’t lose time. I’ve chosen the whole Soleá choreography and I can say that the steps and the body movements are so well explained. You feel like you are in a real live class. I really recommend this program!

    — Martina C. · Italy

  • This online course “por Soleá” is an excellent piece of work. Whether you want some inspiration, or if you want to learn a new choreography, or you want to understand the Soleá, this course works in any case! What a wonderful dancer and great teacher.
