NEW CLASS ALERT - SPECIAL FLAMENCO WORKSHOP
We are excited to bring flamenco back to Global Education Center after a bit of a break. The instructor, Margie Dziadzka, has been teaching and choreographing dance for over 35 years. She has studied with many renowned Spanish dancers including Carmela Greco, Timo Lozano, and Manolo Rivera, and was a soloist with "Teresa y los Preferidos". Before relocating to Tennessee, Margie taught workshops and master classes for schools and other organizations as well as weekly classes at a private studio. She was also the artistic director and founder of Flamenco Expresivo Dance Ensemble, a non-profit organization with participants of all ages that performed at cultural events throughout the Chicago suburbs.
