INSTRUCTORS

Carolina Bonilla is a professional dancer from Colombia. She has been dancing since the age of four, starting her dance journey with classical ballet, tap and jazz at a small dance studio in Mantua, New Jersey in 1993. She moved to Maryland in 1997 and focused her dance training on classical ballet at the Maryland Youth Ballet until 2007. During her summer vacations she would leave to attend the Miami City Ballet for their summer intensives to further develop her skills and knowledge. Throughout her ballet career, Carolina stared in major roles such as “Flower Queen” in The Nutcracker and also competed in the Youth America Grand Prix. Due to an injury her senior year, Carolina was forced to give up her dream of becoming a prima ballerina and ended up finding a new passion-Ballroom dancing.

Daniel Paredez began dancing flamenco in January 2006, training intensively with local flamenco artist Estela Velez and renowned Flamenco masters Alejandro Granados, La Farruca, Carmela Greco, Antonio Santaella, Miguel Vargas, David Coria, Antonio Vargas, and many others. He joined Furia Flamenca, a DC Metro-area flamenco company in 2006, and shortly thereafter became the company’s lead male dancer and a soloist for the company.
