Carmen traveled through this music learning with the greatest masters (Manola, Debla) and occurring worldwide: Japan, Seville, Stuttgart… A renowned choreographer, she chose to open this school in La Rochelle to make known all the richness of the flamenco, which is for her "a very deep way of being in life, to tamper with it, to face it without fear."
