Simone's discovery of Flamenco music and dance began in 1990. Training with some of the best flamenco dancers in Australia, Simone's passion and hunger to know more about flamenco took her to Spain for the first time in 1998. It was a trip to be repeated many times over. Since then, Simone has been returning regularly to Spain, devoting her life and career to the art of Flamenco.

She returns to Spain regularlyr to immerse herself in the latest technical and artistic directions of Flamenco.
