About us
Already with Four Years Old in the Spotlight of Flamenco.
The passion of the siblings Leonor and Marcos López has been dancing since their earliest childhood. They began dancing when they were four and eight years old, respectively, at events organized by Spanish clubs. Just one year later, they attended the flamenco school of Angelines Galvan in Arbon, an hour’s drive away. Under the artistic name “Hermanos López” numerous, large appearances on Swiss and Spanish television as well as in Switzerland, Germany and Spain followed. After more than 10 years on the stages, they began with the deepened flamenco and spanish dance training in Madrid with the renowned dancer Carmen Concha Tucceri “Minerva”. This was followed by many more training and education in various fields. Thus they laid the foundation for an impressive career, which was rounded off with the opening of their own dance school “Hermanos López” in 1999.
In their dance classes, it is important to the two Madrid-trained dancers and dance teachers to individually address the strengths and weaknesses of each student. They are always continuing their education and thus lead their students to success with dancing skills and pedagogical expertise.
