About Estrella Moreno
Three years ago, my boyfriend Adam (a graphic designer) and I (a freelance music journalist) hatched a grand plan. We’d escape the 9-to-5 grind, work remotely and live the dream. We thought it was only a matter of time before we were ready to leave London…
Spoiler alert: it didn’t go to plan.
Fast forward three years, and there we were—glued to our laptops, pulling longer hours than ever. No holidays in six months. Nada. Meanwhile, the cost of living in London skyrocketed, and suddenly, our “dream life” felt more like a hamster wheel we couldn’t jump off.
That’s when it hit us: we weren’t stuck—we just weren’t brave enough to leap.
So we stopped waiting for the “perfect” time (hint: it doesn’t exist) and took the plunge. Move out of London, save on rent, and maybe—just maybe—find the lifestyle we were chasing.
And so, we landed in Sevilla, the city where my abuela still cooks the world’s best gazpacho. This isn’t just a relocation—it’s a reclamation.
So, let me tell you a little about me….
I was born in the UK to Andalusian parents, but flamenco has been stitched into my soul since day one. I trained as a dancer, even gracing the stage at Sadler’s Wells during the Flamenco Festival London (no big deal—okay, it was a huge deal). But life, with its deadlines and debts, pulled me away.
Now, here in Sevilla, flamenco has found me again. And this time, I’m not letting go.
Enter The Dance Gypsy: my corner of the internet where I get to fuse my two great loves—words and flamenco. Think of this blog as your backstage pass to the world of flamenco. You’ll find stories of legendary artists, tips to understand the soul of flamenco, and recommendations for the hottest shows and must-hear music in Sevilla.
And if you’re visiting Sevilla and want insider tips, hit me up. Seriously.
Flamenco isn’t just an art—it’s a way of life. And I’m here to help you dive in, headfirst.
