Ana Cristina Muñoz Rodríguez Jones

Passionate dancer and dance teacher

​

Ana Cristina Muñoz Rodríguez Jones, Spaniard from Cáceres-Extremadura, was born in Frankfurt am Main. Although her parents moved from Spain to Germany in the 1970s, they continued to maintain their Spanish cultural heritage. As a child, Ana Cristina came into intensive contact with flamenco through her father, who dedicated himself to flamenco singing and dancing. At the age of eight, Cristina became interested in dance in general. In 1984 she started her dance career in classical ballet, in 1987 supplemented by jazz dance. In 2009 she successfully completed her extensive training as a dance teacher in modern and classical ballet (Waganova technique). At the same time, Cristina rediscovered her love for flamenco in the early 1990s. That is why she received training from renowned teachers such as Cristóbal Reyes, Juana Amaya, Manolo Marin, Alfonso Losa, Mercedes Ruiz, Jesus Aquilera, Maria Serrano and many more in Germany and Spain in this dance art. Today flamenco is Cristina's special strength. This varied dance training helped Cristina to develop her very own dance style. This enables her to give a very differentiated lesson and at the same time to create extraordinary choreography ideas. From her experience with performance groups, she places special emphasis on technique, attitude, rhythm and expression in her educational work and is also able to respond to each student with patience and understanding. The mixture of discipline and loving empathy enables Cristina to specifically promote her students. A lot of joy and enthusiasm comes from her, so that the self-confidence of the dancers is continuously increased. Cristina currently teaches ballet, flamenco, jazz dance, children's dance, floor barre and gives rhythm seminars. In addition, she choreographs for performance groups and leads workshops in various schools in Frankfurt and the surrounding area. In addition, there have been numerous appearances in recent years: in the International Theater, Brotfabrik, Gallustheater, Alte Oper, Wiesbaden Stats Theater, Community Center North Carolina-USA, Parade of Cultures, Galli Theater, SUQ Festival in Genova Italy, Museumsuferfest u. a. - on TV at NDR, Sat 1, Hessischer Rundfunk, RTL 2
