Testimonials
"We have had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Valeria Alonso and her Spanish dance company, Dancing with Miss Val, to Fairview Park Primary School for our Bi-annual Spanish Day celebration on a number of occasions, and each visit has been nothing short of fantastic!
Valeria brings such passion, energy and authenticity to our Spanish Day celebrations. Her performances are vibrant, engaging, and filled with the rich culture and spirit of Spain and the different Spanish speaking countries. The children are always captivated by the colourful costumes, rhythmic music and Valeria’s captivating presence.
What makes Valeria truly special is her ability to connect with every child. She creates a joyful and inclusive atmosphere where all students feel confident to join in regardless of ability, learn new steps, and express themselves through dance. Her sessions are not only educational but also incredibly fun and inspiring.
Each time Valeria visits, she leaves a lasting impression, not just through the dance, but through the cultural appreciation and enthusiasm she sparks in our students. Valeria’s visits add a truly special and memorable dimension to our celebration, and we can’t wait to welcome her back again for our next Spanish Day celebration."

"Educators and learners had a wonderful time dancing with Miss Val. They loved how the dances celebrated Latin American culture and especially enjoyed taking part in the limbo, which was great fun. Everyone is already looking forward to her next visit!".

"Val’s dance workshop was a joyful and transformative experience for our children at Ngutu College OSHC. It brought even our shyest students out of their shells, helped children connect with each other and their educators and created a strong sense of community.
For our children with Spanish heritage or learning Latin languages, it was evidently a culturally rich opportunity to celebrate their identity with pride. For other children, it was a fantastic way to explore their world and learn about a new culture, developing respect and appreciation for diversity. We received wonderful feedback from families, and Val’s energy, positivity, and skill in working with children was great.
We would love to see Val’s program being offered in more schools as it was a valuable experience which fostered inclusion, confidence and cultural expression.
We definitely look forward to welcoming Val back into our service for future workshops and experiences."

"Val recently collaborated with my Year 10 girls to create an outstanding Latin dance performance. The students were introduced to the vibrant styles of Cumbia and Merengue, and under Val’s expert guidance, they developed both skill and confidence. Her contagious energy, patience, and genuine care for the students made a significant impact especially considering many of the girls were completely new to dance.
Val brings an incredible depth of knowledge in Latin dance and is always willing to share her expertise. She also played a key role in helping us design authentic costumes that beautifully reflected Latin culture and style.
In addition to this project, Val worked closely with me on our school musical, adding a unique Latin flair and flavour that elevated the production. Working with Val is an absolute pleasure. Her passion, professionalism, and creativity shine through in everything she does. We can’t wait to collaborate with her again in the future."

"Valeria has been our dance teacher in the ETPS OSHC after-school care program for over 4 years. Having the opportunity to work with Valeria has been an absolute joy. She brings endless energy and radiant positivity into every class, creating an environment where everyone feels encouraged and inspired. What I admire most is not just her incredible talent, but how she shares it so generously. When she dances alongside her students, you can see the spark in their eyes. They're not just learning steps, they're experiencing the joy of movement and music. She has a beautiful way of connecting with each student, inspiring confidence and creativity in everyone she teaches.".
