Pamela Lourant
"With a belief in an elegant, deeply felt, traditional flamenco and the hard work, perserverance and discipline needed to acheive her goals as an artist and as a teacher, Pamela Lourant is unique performer that will leave you breathless."
Pamela was born and raised in Santa Barbara, Ca where flamenco is a common form of dance amongst the local performing arts community. She began her professional training at the age of 17 performing during the city's flamenco festival. With that feeling of accomplishment as well as the love and respect from the audience, she made it her goal to become the best she could be at her craft.
