About the teacher: José Manuel Alvarez was born in Seville in 1985. He currently lives in Barcelona, where he founded his own dance group “La Capitana Espacio Flamenco”. He has worked as a professional dancer for more than 15 years, e.g. in the works of Marco Flores, Olga Pericet, Ruben Olmo and Javier Latorre. Since 2014, he has choreographed his own works “Bailes Colaterales” (2019), “Cruces” (2020) and “El Rumbudróm” (2021). He examines flamenco from a contemporary perspective and explores different bodily possibilities for expression. As a teacher, he is very clear, warm, positive and approachable. He also sings in classes and at the same time teaches “flamenco code language” and dancing to song structures. The course is accompanied by guitarist Toni Jokiniitty.
