Fiona Rodel, P.d.B

Fiona Rodel is affiliated to The Spanish Dance Society.  The syllabus offers Flamenco, Escuela Bolera (Classical) and Regional Styles.  The joy of Spanish Dancing is that you can start at any age.

Fiona has worked with many pupils from marginalized communities, expecting high standards and giving them self confidence.  Her joy is seeing these young people achieve on stage and derive pleasure from their Spanish dancing. Part of Fiona’s training programme for her students is for them to attend local and overseas workshops and courses.

                                                                                                                  

Fiona’s Latin American dance involvement began in 2004 when she was invited and subsequently appointed by Mark Dooley to teach Solo Dança Latina in Port Elizabeth, where she runs popular and successful classes - her pupils achieving honours in their examinations and participating in regional workshops and competitions.  

Fiona’s contribution to arts and culture was recognised in January 2008 when she was admitted to the Port Elizabeth Opera House “Showtime Hall of Fame” - in acknowledgement of “a lifetime of meritorious service to the performing arts in Port Elizabeth.”
