Master Classes, Workshops and Lectures

A gifted artist/educator/speaker Niurca is capable of teaching various dance styles in classes that help refine participants’ skills while developing artistry in a rigorous, yet supportive environment. Her training as a Teacher of the Feldenkrais Method gives her a unique approach to teaching flamenco to non-flamenco and flamenco dancers alike. She is particularly sought out for her "bata de cola" and Flamenco technique courses based on her unique combination of the elements of flamenco and contemporary body practices.

Niurca Marquez is frequently sought as a master teacher, choreographer, facilitator, speaker and panelist. For more information on master classes, lectures, residencies and commissioned choreography, please use the contact page.
