DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You're a flamenco dancer.
You've been going to classes for a while now, and you're pretty good at it too 💪🏼
Or so you thought.
Until it was time to go out and improvise at Bulerías Por Fiesta 😮
That was anything but fiesta vibes.
I mean, you know a lot of choreography and you know how to dance.
So why is it you all of a sudden go blank for steps when you're out there in the middle improvising?
Oh wait, there is that one marking step you remember...
Which you do. Every time. Over and over 😐
Why is it you can't remember any others?
But not the same steps everyone else is doing.
No. You want your Bulerías to be fresh.
Have your own signature steps.
You want it to be fun, spontaneous, and entertaining.
You know, WOW everyone with your brilliant moves.
Seriously. Whoever thought this would be fun to do at parties?!?
If only you could remember to practice and learn new steps at home. OH, and feel motivated to do it.
But, guess what?
There's a good reason why you can't think of any steps when you're out in the middle improvising...
It's because you're busy thinking about the cante (the singing)
Obviously 😉
You HAVE to be focused on listening to the singer
or you'll have NO chance of coming in at the right time with your steps
- That's why the flamenco dancers making it look easy HAVE practiced their signature steps many times over.
- They know their steps need to be second nature. No thought necessary.
It's challenging enough to learn a set choreography, to a set piece of recorded music.
And then to perform it well.
But throw in going out on stage WITHOUT a dance, making it up on the spot AND in time with the singer?
That's a lot to deal with!!
But what if..
- You had an easy number of super cool steps to choose from
- AND a way to practice them so they become second nature to you?
Your very own signature steps
That no one else in your town is doing!

👋🏼 Hi, I'm Belinda
I'm a flamenco dancer living in Perth, Australia 🦘
I've been dancing and performing flamenco for more than 35 years.
And now?
I'm YOUR flamenco dance coach.
Why am I for you?
- BECAUSE you love flamenco and want to be able to improvise like a Boss when its time for Por Fiesta. It looks so easy and fun when you see other people doing it! How hard can it be?? 😅
- BECAUSE you know you can do this – you just need someone to help you crack the code!
- BECAUSE you're a really good flamenco dancer but this Por Fiesta style has temporarily got you beat – you just need a little time plus guidance to figure this thing out.
And me? That's exactly what I do.
I've cracked the code on this Por Fiesta thing.
From salida to final, I can give you the clues to hear the 'cues' and you'll be rocking that remate and perfecting your pataíta faster than you can say 'cafe con leche'.
So whether you're in class, at a fiesta, or on stage at your next concert - I'm here to make sure you never have that 'please skip me' moment again!
Your first step, though?
Is to get your signature steps.
And that's where The Bulerías Bank comes in. I'm giving you permission to rob my bank - and make my steps, your steps! (YW 😉)
Let's get one thing straight though.
This isn't a complete guide on how to improvise for Bulerías Por Fiesta.
This is a practical (and crucial!) piece of the pie that once achieved, makes it far easier for you to focus on getting improvisation right.
There's not much point going out in the middle to improvise if you don't have any steps to improvise with 🤨
It's like you wouldn't go to the store to buy groceries without your purse.
You'd have no money to pay with when you get there...
and come home empty handed 🙃
Same with improvising -
Why go out in the middle to improvise without any steps??
You'll have nothing to work with once you're out there 😐
Easy fixed 😎
- Build your bank of signature steps
- Take them with you when you go out in the middle
- You'll have something to work with when you're improvising
Easy fixed 😎
- Build your bank of signature steps
- Take them with you when you go out in the middle
- You'll have something to work with when you're improvising
And best of all, because you've practiced your steps and know them inside out, you'll be free to focus on listening to the singer.
Which means you're more likely to hear the cues in the music – so you can come in with your killer remate at just the right time! 🔥🔥🔥

Who Is This For?
Flamenco Dancers 💃🏼
(a bit obvious 😉)
But more specifically – flamenco dancers who want to up their Bulerías game
Who will it suit?
Bulerías Por Fiesta is not about fancy footwork!
These tutorials will suit any level of flamenco dancer, beginners through to advanced.
If you've ever been called on to improvise 'in the middle' at the end of class and felt terrified at the thought of having to come up with your own steps on the spot - this workshop is designed for you!
Even if you haven't quite got the hang of the whole improv thing just yet, you'll at least have some super cool moves to pull out on the dance floor.
That's got to be better than dancing that one side to side shuffle marking on repeat until it's time for llamada..
I'm a beginner, are you sure I can do this?
There are no complicated choreographies - most of the steps are simple.
No matter where you are in your flamenco journey, if you can stamp and you can clap, you'll be able to follow along.
If anything, the challenge will be in the tempo.
Bulerías is typically a fast-paced dance, but we take the steps slow to start with.
From there, you can build up the tempo at a pace to suit YOU.
I'm advanced, will this be too basic for me?
If you're a seasoned flamenco dancer then learning the steps should be a breeze!
Which is a good thing, because the point of this workshop series is for you to build a bank of signature steps that you can commit to muscle memory.
Then, when you ARE improvising, you're free to focus on listening and improvising to the cante (the singing) – instead of stressing about what step to do next and missing the cues in the music!
But Wait!!
| I already know some Bulerías steps.. |
That's cool, but do these steps feel like your own? Or are they steps everyone is doing, and you kind of want something fresh and new?
Bulerías is meant to be fun and cheeky, and showcase your personality.
Maybe the steps you have aren't really 'you'.
Maybe the steps in the Bulerías Bank ARE more 'you'?
Keen to find out??
| I am not good at learning on my own! |
That's exactly why I've created the Bulerías Bank!
When it comes to improvising Bulerías Por Fiesta, the responsibility is on us as dancers to come up with our OWN choreography. Which is a lot of pressure if all we're used to is learning steps by rote.
If you're serious about levelling up your Bulerías game, I've taken some of that responsibility from you – all you have to do is choose a few steps you like best, learn them, and add them to your signature collection!
| What if I don’t feel motivated to practice? |
I get it! We don't always feel super motivated to put on our dancing shoes at home. Not when the washing needs to be folded and the couch is calling your name. Loudly.
Enter – mental rehearsal.
Studies have shown (just ask Tony Robbins) that mentally rehearsing your moves can positively affect your performance.
Don't put pressure on yourself – if you really aren't in the mood to get up and dance, you can always close your eyes and picture yourself doing the moves with the audience loving what they see.
Mental practice is better than no practice!
| Don’t you teach Bulerías steps inside your course ‘Become A Bulerías Boss’? |
The short answer is no.
Become A Bulerías Boss is a course that teaches you every element you need to know to improvise a complete Bulerías patada from salida to final, no matter how the letra is sung.
While I do teach you the steps I'm using in the course, it's not a detailed lesson on dancing.
And, I don't teach a lot of steps - I use the same few steps throughout the majority of the course – because the focus is on learning how to improvise, not learning steps.
The Bulerías Bank is the VERY best way to lock in your signature steps - so that you NEVER go blank for steps again, and definitely NEVER get stuck doing the same stale step on repeat 😎
Check out these incredible bonuses!
1
Maybe you're at the start of your Bulerías journey.. or maybe you're still figuring out how the whole structure thing works and what steps go where.
This PDF cheatsheet will guide you through:
- what the different types of steps are
- why you need them
- how many you should have saved in your bank, and
- how they are used in a Bulerías Patada
..so you'll know exactly how to use your new steps when you go out to improvise 'in the middle'
2
Marcajes, remates and llamadas might be the star steps in a Bulerías patada – but they're not the ONLY steps.
You'll also want to know how to do the Paso de Bulerías - the classic Bulerías step.
Choose one (or more!) of these three variations to add to your Bulerías Bank.
3
And we can't forget the all important linking steps - aka Transition Steps (recoge in Spanish)
Sometimes we need to use a little transition step to move us seamlessly from one step to the next. These tutorial videos show you exactly how to perform a transition step for Bulerías Por Fiesta.
Simply choose one (or more!) of these three variations and add to your Bulerías Bank.
So now you have ALL the ingredients you'll need to make up a complete Bulerías Patada!!
Hmmm... What's the catch?
The truth is I could easily charge $300 (or more!) for this expertly high-value workshop series.
But the reason I'm not?
💃🏼 You might not know me very well yet, and this way you get a sneak peak of my teaching style - so you can see if we're a good fit (at a super affordable price!)
💃🏼 You might just be starting out on your Bulerías journey and not quite ready to take the plunge down the rabbit hole of improvisation
💃🏼 You might have already taken some Bulerías improvisation classes or workshops and don't see how another Bulerías course could be any different. Yet.
So, there's no catch.
I just want you to have some quick wins with building your Bulerías Bank and locking in your signature steps.
And, once you have your steps sorted, I know you'll be in a way better position to learn how to improvise. Because you won't be sabotaging your brain space with thoughts of "Oh my goodness, what step am I going to do next?"
That's when you'll feel so ready to Become A Bulerías Boss 👑
Your epic Bulerías journey starts here - 🏦 Build your Bulerías Bank first! 🏆
Got questions? I got answers..
| I'm a beginner flamenco dancer, will this suit me? |
Yes.
Bulerías Por Fiesta is not about fancy footwork or complex choreography. It's a short, party style dance designed to showcase the fun side of your personality.
Most of the steps I teach in the tutorials are suitable for beginners.
| I always go blank for steps, how will this workshop change that? |
This is the reason I created this workshop series.
The crucial element to allowing yourself to improvise successfully is knowing your steps before you go out to improvise.
That means (1) you will need your own set of signature steps, and (2) you will need to know them thoroughly - both of which this workshop is designed to give you.
| Improv is not my thing, are you sure I can do this? |
Improv is not really my thing either! But... if you love flamenco, it's going to catch up with you sooner or later.
And the sooner you figure out the easiest way of learning it, the less painful and terrifying it will be when someone insists you get up and dance!
My one regret is I didn't learn to do improv sooner!
| When do I get access to the workshop series? |
Immediately!
All of the tutorials are pre-recorded and ready to go. You can dive in straight away and start practicing, or you can take your time.
It is completely self-paced, and you can rewind and replay as much as you need.
| How long will I have access for? |
Forever!
This workshop series is yours to keep ✨✨
