Ilisa has extraordinary passion and a wealth of knowledge of Flamenco and additional tools (musician's, singer's perspectives) that bring richness to the art form. She cares so much about the students and teaches with care to protect the alignment and joints thus preventing injuries. PAN has produced creative original shows, and incorporates famous dancers from around the world in her workshops and productions.

I like the excellent and individual attention given to each student. Ilisa is a master teacher and her classes are excellent.

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching Ballet at the age of 17, when my teacher asked me to take over her school for the summer when she was not available. I have been teaching ever since, and have expanded my training and experience in dance and theater for over four decades. While working in Spain as a Flamenco dancer, I was asked to teach and coach many of the dancers in the studios in which I rehearsed. In 1985, I started my own Flamenco school and in 1995, I founded PAN, Performing Arts Network where I have taught Ballet, Flamenco, Classical Spanish Dance, Creative Movement, Acting and Creative Writing continuously up to the present.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students of all ages and levels of ability.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My most recent production of Dracula at the Colony Theatre where I created an original script and interpreted this classic story in the language of Flamenco music and dance with Guest Artists from Spain.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would advise a student looking to hire a teacher in my area of expertise to look at the credentials and the work of the instructor and then take one class to determine wheter their teaching style is a "good gift".
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should think through what their goals are.
