Biography:

(Christine) I started to dance flamenco 26 years ago - as a stress buster. I fell in love with the music and the dancing. Since then I have taken short courses in the history of flamenco at the University of Granada and at Jerez Flamenco Festival while continuing to study flamenco dance both in Spain and in the UK. 25 years ago I co-founded a voluntary Community its group Deva Flamenco which still gives weekly classes in flamenco, Sevillanas and Gypsy dancing in Chester. Our group offers Flamenco Fiestas and dance displays at local community and social events and care homes. Since I retired, I offer presentations on the history of Flamenco with authentic music and videos, demonstrating the dances as they developed over time and including "have a go" dances on request. I'm based in Chester and have given up driving so rely on public transport. Chester has good rail and bus connections into North Wales and within Cheshire and the Wirral as far as Liverpool and Manchester. I would need a screen or blank wall ( have my own projector) and ideally a wooden floor so the audience can hear the heel beats, though I can adapt the dances for other floor coverings. Paul my husband gives talks about his collections of old interesting objects in everyday use in the past. Paul does still drive - which is good as travelling on public transport with his collection of old suitcases carrying his treasures would not be easy!
