Training & Experiences
Ingrid started her flamenco training with Rosana Maya in 1992 at College of Jazz. In 2000 she moved to Alegria under the direction of Rosana Maya and continued her training obtaining Certificates in all the levels of Alianza Flamenca including her Teachers Diploma.

In 2007, following various visits to Mumbai, India with Rosana Maya, performing and teaching there, Ingrid decided to stay in India and further her research on the roots of Flamenco. Living in India gave her the opportunity to learn a few Indian Classical Dance genres and discovering the similarities some of them had to Flamenco dance. During her stay there, Ingrid gave various performances in Festivals and Organisations and regularly gave classes of Flamenco dance, thus establishing a branch of Alegria in Mumbai, India.
