ABOUT CARLOS QUINTANA
Guest Instructor Based in Madrid, Carlos has been dedicated to flamenco and expressive movement across various disciplines for years. For him, dance is the most authentic way to connect with others, expressing emotions and telling stories through movement.
Although primarily trained in flamenco, he enjoys exploring other styles and blending them to give his choreography and performances a unique touch.
Recently, he had the opportunity to be chosen as the principal dancer for an Apple ad campaign, an experience that drives him to keep growing and learning in the world of dance and everything related to performance.

No Venue
All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
