Student Testimonials
“I have taken Flamenco lessons from Lindsey for many years now. She is unique in the world of Flamenco because she has studied the history and culture extensively. She does so much more than teach you steps. She explains and connects Palos with movements and can give you reasoning to help you understand why something is done, and where to do it in the canté. She breaks down the mystery of Flamenco for the average person who may know nothing. You always leave her class with more knowledge than you came in with. She is thoughtful, professional and has created and nurtured a Flamenco community in Maine that is strong. I cannot recommend her classes enough!”

“Lindsey Bourassa makes learning the art of Flamenco dance thoroughly enjoyable. Ms. Bourassa supports her students at whatever level they are at & breaks down the elements of flamenco: Its history, rhythms, singing, footwork and choreography into easy to learn sections. So thankful to have found a flamenco artist who is also a wonderful teacher. “
- Sharon Gordon
“Lindsey takes this vibrant style of song, music, and dance developed over centuries and provides a clear and straightforward approach to begin learning flamenco dancing. I knew I appreciated dancing, but I never realized how much I would enjoy her classes, and that I would love dancing this much again! It’s just fabulously fun. I’m glad I found her and this community.”
- Cindy Barnard
"When I first saw Lindsey dance I was two, I instantly fell in love with flamenco. When Lindsey dances it's so beautiful and graceful and really inspiring. After I saw her dance I really really really wanted to be a flamenco dancer. FINALLY She started teaching when I was four. I loved her classes. She's so good at teaching kids, she's so patient and nice I learned so much from her and would play flamenco at home with my little sister Phoenix. She's been teaching me for 7 years now and I know soo much flamenco. She is literally the best teacher.”

“Learning how to flamenco dance has been a lifelong dream of mine; luckily I have Lindsey to help me make that dream a reality! Lindsey is a beautiful dancer, and a teacher who provides a safe, fun, inspiring environment to learn in. She not only inspires me as a dancer but as a human being and my private sessions with her are the highlight of my week. Learning Flamenco dance is a fantastic adventure and I’m thrilled to have Lindsey guiding me through it.”

“I have been studying flamenco with Lindsey Bourassa for 6 years now and it’s a welcoming and safe environment for students of all ages. Lindsey really takes care to nurture every level of ability from total beginners to more experienced dancers. Aside from being extremely talented and knowledgeable of Flamenco, Lindsey is a caring, mindful, professional, organized and articulate teacher who dedicates herself to bringing this art form, culture and opportunities to Maine.”

Lindsey Bourassa has an exceptional talent for teaching a very challenging dance form, flamenco! She has the inherent ability to break down flamenco components piece by piece for all her students and connect them together again in a clear, comprehensible style all her own. Her personality and presence are an additional asset when in front of a class of students. It is rare to find a dance teacher that is also a beautiful dancer in her own right. Lindsey is both an extraordinary teacher and dancer. I have learned more about this art form in my short time with her than I have in my past years of flamenco study. Gracias Lindsey, eres la mejor!
