CORPORATE EVENTS "I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you again for such a wonderful workshop on Friday... I'm very impressed that you managed to keep a group of 30 rowdy adults under control." - [eDv Media - Feb08] "As you were aware, deciding on a Flamenco Workshop as part of our conference was a risky move as I knew we were going to push people out of their comfort zone. We also had quite large groups which I thought could be tricky. But I was really impressed with the way you commanded the goup and got them all engaged and enjoying the whole learning experience, so much so that I didn't dream there would be so many volunteers for the Flamenco competition later that evening.......With the finale of your wonderful display, all in all, the Flamenco ended up being the highlight of the conference!" - [Cushman & Wakefield- Marbella Apr07] "The workshop was excellent and helped the group to relax and refresh after an intensive morning. By chance, the group included a number of young Spanish doctors, and the workshop was an ideal icebreaker encouraging bonding between the group members." - [NHS Postgraduate Deanery Feb06] "We found on the days you were there we had an uplift in our number of leads just after your performances, we put this downto the extra attention you brought to the stand and after watching the Flamenco, people were happy to speak to us about helping them find a property in Spain." - [Ideal Home Exhibition Apr06] "The publicity you attracted to my company was very beneficial and we will without hesitiation be making other bookings this year" - [Casas Bonitas Overseas Jun06] "Thank you very much for entertaining our club members at our Tapas on the Thames event...it was lovely to see you encouraging people up to dance...even though you have danced and played for us three times already, we would not hesitate in asking you a fourth time! - [Emilio Lustau Sherry Club, Cadiz July06] "I would just like to thank you for the excellent entertainment you provided at our recent 'Spanish' themed evening at...ExCel. It was a huge success and the music and dance made a huge contribution to the evening. Our customers and suppliers (from around the globe) thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The vibrancy and passion was wonderful. I will certainly recommend you and the team to a host of people." - [ExCel Centre July06]
SCHOOLS "The children absolutely loved the Flamenco demonstration that she performed at the start of the sessions - they were totally mesmerised by this form of dance. Sandra had a lovely manner with the children...her workshop was accessible to all the children and she ensured that they were all involved" - [Ashburton Junior School July07] "The ages of the pupils ranged from 14-18, a difficult age to motivate to do anything, never mind to dance flamenco in front of their peers but out of 80 students, at least 60 were dancing by the end of the session, and ALL pupils joined in the "palmas"... "Our children had a fantastic day with Sandra. She related extremely well to all groups of children and her ability to engage all the children including those who would normally have challenging behaviour was outstanding " - [Marks Gate Infant School Sep06] "Our pupils all have severe and/or profound learning difficulties and some have additional sensory needs...she intuitively delivered her sessions at exactly the right level for our pupils. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to work with any group of individuals whatever their levels of ability and understanding. Sandra has become part of our school" - [Hyleford Special Needs School] "Although with the children for only an hour each session, she managed to create an atmosphere whereby we were whisked away to Andalucia and became one with the music! ... Many thanks to Sandra for inviting us into the world of Flamenco and we look forward to seeing her back at St. John's for a future event." - [St John's C.E. School Jun06] "Sandra can adapt her programme in such a way as to deliver it at the right levels for our pupils. She challenges our most able pupils and provides sensory input for our pupils with the most profound levels of need by costumes, props and music. Sandra has an inbuilt intuitive way of judging how to get the best out of our pupils." [Newbridge Special Needs School, Loxford Lane Campus Nov06] "This enthusiasm for teaching flamenco and passing on her experience was also evident throughout the day when Sandra worked with children from each year group from reception age to year six. The simple yet impressive routines, which she taught to each age group, were perfectly planned and each child was thoroughly engaged in what they were doing." - [Grange Primary School, Merseyside Nov06]
FLAMENCO WEDDINGS & PARTIES "Sandra helped me to reach such a high standard in a very short space of time most of my guests thought that I had been taking lessons for years. I would just like to thank you Sandra for not only giving my guests such a wonderful authentic display but also having the patience to teach an absolute beginner who does not know her left from right" - [Flamenco Birthday Party - Mar08] "Gracias! Gracias! Gracias! You are truly a lovely lady and everyone from my party is raving over you" - [Flamenco Party - Mar08] "Thank you so much for coming to the wedding reception... we all have a lot of fun and my heart is still racing from the passion of dancing with you (you caught me out on that one). I will have no hesitation in recommending you to all my friends and associates" - [Flamenco Wedding - Aug07] "You were a pleasure to work with on the night and in making arrangements before the event.

energy in managing 26 lively 7 year olds last Friday.
Both birthday girls really enjoyed the day and several mother's have commented on
the fun that their daughters had" - [Children's Party Apr06] "Sandra and her guitarist made my 7 year-old daughter's birthday party a HUGE success. And the Moms and Dads who stayed thoroughly enjoyed the show. She is a superb teacher - and was great with the girls. Two weeks later, the girls are still talking about it. I would do it again, in a flash ..." - [Children's Party Jun06] "It was truly wonderful having your flamenco workshop and performance as part of my birthday party. Enjoyed by young and old, we all had a really brilliant time and you gave all those who took part a taste of the wonderful rhythms and movement of the flamenco dance. I will certainly recommend you to anyone who should ask advice about having something a bit different as an entertainment at their party!!" - [Birthday Party Aug06]
FLAMENCO SKIRTS "The colour and size are perfect, and the skirt has provided Gabriella with the motivation to take her flamenco lessons very seriously. As Gabriella progresses with her flamenco lessons, I look forward to ordering more such skirts from you in the future!" - [Feb08] "I just wanted to thank you for my new lovely skirt. I always get sooooo many compliments when I wear it, that the colours are so lovely, the pattern, the frills,...just everything. It is amazing that it turned out to be so perfect without choosing the material myself or trying it on!.....Again, many thanks and don't be surprised if you hear from me again asking for another skirt." - [May07] "The skirt has arrived and it is absolutely beautiful! I love it and can't wait to start stamping and twirling around in it. The colours, material, cut and quality are just wonderful. "Thank you very much for the wonderful skirt you have made for me....I didn't think I could get something hand made to fit me so well without your seeing me" - [Mar07]
