Unlock the feminine power behind flamenco’s most untamed lineage.
Embody a magnetic stage presence — beyond footwork.

Unique Zambra workshop with Puela Lunaris recorded live during the Festival de Jerez

Award-Winning Researcher, Master Dance Educator & Keeper of Lola Flores' Zambra Legacy

What You'll Gain

This workshop offers a radically different approach to flamenco: one rooted in body intelligence, expressive presence, and unapologetic feminine sensuality.

Award-Winning Researcher & Master Dance Educator, Puela Lunaris, brings together the historically rooted lineage of Zambra as danced by the legendary Lola Flores with the renowned Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) framework, so you can:

  • Command a magnetic stage presence using historically rooted body intelligence.

  • Inhabit your body with pleasure through unapologetic feminine sensuality.

  • Ground your dance in ancestral power by connecting to the roots of the Zambra.

  • Access authentic Zambra dance to move beyond the "fusion confusion" found elsewhere.  

  • Embody the magic of your whole body dancing (not just your feet) through the empowering Lunaris Flamenco Technique™ to achieve majestic posture & coordination, elegant torso, bewitching arms, sensual hips, grounded marcajes, and fiery turns.

  • Discover the untamed charisma and interpretative genius of the Zambra legend Lola Flores, learning to generate those qualities in your dance through Puela Lunaris' method.

  • Decode the essence of every movement through Laban Movement Analysis—so you can embody the power of flamenco, not just copy steps and footwork.

  • Become part of flamenco history: Understand the cultural relevance of Zambra—a hit in the first half of the 20th century, now almost extinct—and actively contribute to its preservation and revitalization.

Is This Workshop For You?

Perfect if you wish to:

  • Connect with an authentic lineage of Zambra. You're tired of workshops that water down Zambra into made up "flamenco-belly dance fusions." You want the REAL thing. The historical lineage. The cultural depth.

  • Access the passionate Zambra style of Lola Flores through the renown and proven Laban Movement Analysis framework (LMA). 

  • Embody flamenco body technique -técnica corporal- with elegance.

  • Move beyond standard footwork to explore the almost forgotten feminine style of flamenco dancing.

  • Command the stage with unapologetic confidence & magnetic sensuality at any age.

  • Enjoy a grounded connection to the earth without the need for shoes.

    This is NOT for you if you are looking for:

❌ Intricate footwork
❌ Pre-set choreography (though choreographic creation is encouraged)

 Real Stories

"This is the first workshop that taught me Zambra as FLAMENCO, not as belly dance with flamenco flavor. Puela bridges cultural respect with accessible teaching—I finally feel like I'm honoring the art form instead of appropriating it."

  • Uncover the hidden connection between movement initiation and expression.

  • Apply the Lunaris Flamenco Technique™ to embody the unapologetic feminine sensuality and body awareness that defined Lola's iconic presence.

Day 3: Dynamics: The Fire of Command

  • Work on the expressive elements of dance masterfully demonstrated by Lola Flores.

  •  Learn to create rhythmic accents with different parts of the body.

  • Command stage presence by using the  proprietary "Power Pause" technique to execute impressive remates.

Day 4: Space: Ancestral Grounding

Day 5: The Alchemy of Relationships

  • We explore rhythmic resources in Zambra including pitos, taconeos, and body percussion.

  • We enrich our relationship with the flamenco skirt as an artistic prop: we follow the genius of Lola Flores in applying bata de cola techniques to skirt dancing, and learn valuable flamenco skirt techniques that can also be used with many other palos.

  • We expand interpretative brilliance by taking advantage of Laban's  “duo effect” even when dancing alone,

  • We review the four LMA concepts, so we can integrate what we have learned.
