Why You'll ❤️ the Online Flamenco Studio Too!
FLAMENCO ISN’T JUST STEPS & CHOREOGRAPHY!
Whether your goal is to FEEL good or to GET good, flamenco is all about aire (soul), compás (rhythm), and the courage to express your true self.
Inside the Online Flamenco Studio, you’ll learn with clarity—not confusion.
Because making flamenco clear, doable, and deeply felt—that’s my superpower.
Yes, you’ll build strong technique and dance beautiful choreographies.
But even more, you’ll discover what most teachers skip:
The language of flamenco—how it works, how it feels, and how it lives inside you.
And you’ll learn it through the Rina Orellana Method:
✨ SPEAK FLAMENCO
No, this isn't about speaking Spanish!
It's about grasping the STRUCTURE of flamenco and its various PALOS (rhythms).
It's the difference between merely performing a dance routine by memory and truly DANCING with an understanding of each part and the reasons WHY these elements matter.
And this is important--- and DOABLE-- for ALL levels!
✨ FEEL FLAMENCO
This is what really brings the dance to life!
It's the difference between a dancer who’s technically flawless but lacks emotion and one who might be less perfect but completely captivates.
It's about expressing that 'aire'—that special charisma, cultivating that confidence, fostering the courage to stand up and be seen.
✨ DANCE FLAMENCO
It's more than *just* technique.
The goal is having that flamenco "look." That confidence and strength in the movement. The mobility and presence in the upper body. It's the difference between someone dancing some flamenco moves and someone who IS a flamenca!
We do this by KISSing flamenco—Keep It Strong & Simple as we focus on key accents and build an intentional practice.
And this is for ALL dancers, no matter where you are in your Flamenco & Life Journey!
Newbies, experienced, young, mature, flamenco-curious, aficionados
Where are you in your Flamenco Journey?
Let's dance through it together.

MEET YOUR MAESTRA--
Hola, I'm Rina Orellana!
Trained in Madrid and based in Los Angeles, I’ve been dancing flamenco for over 25 years and teaching for 20—guiding everyone from absolute beginners to advanced dancers ready for the tablao.
After years of teaching, I know the struggles dancers face. That’s why I say no more just copying steps without understanding! Flamenco is a language, and my passion is helping you truly speak it.
I believe flamenco is a personal journey—we each have something unique to express. My mission is to demystify the art form so you can dance with clarity, confidence, and soul.
Since 2015, thousands of dancers worldwide have unleashed their flamenca with me in the Online Flamenco Studio. I’d love for you to join us.
xoxox,
Rina

YES, YES and YES! I've taught THOUSANDS of dancers from all over the world. Making the complicated world of flamenco easy to understand is my super power.

But more importantly, for you, the dancer, you must be consistent in your efforts to see any results. But that's ok because I've got your back!!
