She is a dance instructor at the Barañain Auditorium in Pamplona and directs the street theatre group "ALKORA Kalean" with their Afro dance production.
"African dance is a style based on tribal African dances. It expresses all manner of daily, social activity within the tribe as well as celebrations related to seasonal activities, combat, hunting, marriage and so on. These dances combine very energetic as well as sensual movements. Fused with more contemporary styles it is perfect for maintaining physical well being and equilibrium. It is also an attractive dance form in it's relation to music and percussion. As well as being fun it is a serious & exciting method of personal development."
"Classes are held in the Pamplona. Benegorri and Barasoain (Spain) ."
