Raquel Ribes

Raquel danced throughout her childhood in Spain, learning ballet, flamenco, and other styles. But it wasn't until she came to Edinburgh to learn English in 1995 that she discovered and fell in love with African dance. Since then, this passion has taken her to Uganda, Ghana and Senegal to study and perform with some great artists. She shares these experiences through her teaching (Raquel is also a nursery teacher), and through performance. This year she was honoured to perform for the Queen at Westminister Abbey in collaboration with dancers from India, Ghana and Uganda.
