Syllabus Coordination Committee (SCC)

The Syllabus Coordination Committee consists of a panel of experts within the organization. These members are also active teachers who have collaboratively constructed the syllabus through their combined proficiency in the art of Flamenco.

The designers of the syllabus have all had experience studying and dancing in Spain. Since Flamenco is an art form that is constantly evolving, these members are avidly dedicated to the organization’s ongoing update and development of the syllabus by aligning its teachings with up-to-date trends in Spain. All assessors ensure the delivery of training to the teachers within Alianza.

Our SCC includes Julia Bonegio (Chair), Carlos, Rosana Maya, Teresa Morena, Juana Vargas, and Linda Vargas.

Alianza Flamenca is run by an active Management Committee which is the heartbeat of our organization. All committee members work strictly on a volunteer basis – both in their time and expertise. Each member of the committee is responsible for a specific portfolio. These jointly contribute to the successful running of the organization. They work tirelessly to plan and set up fundraising events, promote and expose the art form and ensure resources are available to student, teacher and aficionado members. Newsletters are published regularly to keep the community informed about the organization’s developments, upcoming projects, and newsworthy international trends in Flamenco.

Our current members include Alexandra Le Maitre (Chair | MC Secretary), Rosana Maya (Vice Chair), Naiemah Eksteen, Mireille Lenferna and Nicolene Mausenbaum.
