For the first time in South Florida, it is our distinct honor to welcome the lovely, Faten Munger of Cairo, Egypt! Don’t miss your opportunity to learn from this multi-talented artist who has mastered two beautiful dance forms and unites them brilliantly on stage!  She holds a Diploma from the Conservatory of Music in Cairo, Egypt; she studied at the University of Cairo and has received a Diploma from the Royal Academy of Music in London.  A classically trained concert pianist and also professionally trained Spanish Flamenco Dancer, Ms. Munger’s musicality shines through in her performances.  For the past 25 years she has been the Director and Choreographer of Flores de Sevilla International Dance Company which performs often for international festivals and theater productions.  Her study of Spanish dancing began in Seville, Spain, in 1982. Afterwards she studied at Northeastern Illinois University, and, in 1986, she completed her advanced studies in Madrid, Spain, under Saturnino Gonzales.  Her other teachers have included Dama Libby Komaiko, Paco Alonso, Manolo Vargas, Sergio Bahamondes, Victorio Korjhan, Maria Alba and Manolo Rivera in the United States and Maria Magdalena and El Guito in Spain.
