Irene Palomares

Dear reader, fan, curious onlooker, or casual visitor who has stumbled upon this page, thank you for visiting my biography. It means you enjoyed what you saw and want to know more, so I'm delighted to share my story with you. Please read on.

You already know my name; just by looking at the headings and photos on the page, it's easy to guess. However, let me tell you more about myself.

For as long as I can remember, I've known I wanted to dance. As a child, instead of going out to the park to play with other children, I preferred to stay home, in the pantry where there were glass windows and I could see my reflection. So, afternoon after afternoon, I learned and built a dancer in my heart, but above all, I enjoyed every moment. For me, there isn't a moment when I started dancing, because there hasn't been a moment in my life when I haven't danced.

Hi Irene! Maybe my opinion doesn't count for much since I'm one of the last to arrive, but I wanted to share a comment with you. Honestly, I really enjoy the content you share. I say this with total respect: you have become my inspiration, not only because of how natural you are, but because of what a great dancer and instructor you are. Get well soon!

With Irene, I discover a more authentic connection with my essence in salsa every day. Her way of teaching, combined with her talent as a dancer and her dedication as a teacher, is deeply inspiring. Thanks to her, I have grown in technique, in confidence, and in the desire to keep learning and enjoying this dance. Thank you, Irene, for accompanying me in this process, for helping me improve day by day, and for being a teacher and dancer who truly makes a difference and leaves a lasting mark." Sincerely, Laura Solange Ruiz Cabanilla

Thank you for everything we’ve experienced these past few days—such a beautiful group of people. I’m so grateful for the camaraderie, the hugs, the care, and the passion that could be felt throughout the entire process. A special thanks to the girls for being there for me when my shoes broke, and to everyone for a journey filled with smiles and words of encouragement. Maestra, if I admired your work before, I now admire your humility and your soul. It was an honor to be under your direction and to learn from you. Thank you for teaching us not just steps, but dance and the passion behind it.

To be honest, Irene, since I've been with you, I see the '1x2' in a completely different way. My basic step and posture have changed, just with your corrections on arms, hips, and knees. It transformed me. The guys at my academy noticed, but it was the girls mostly who were asking me about it. I told them I was doing Lady Style with you. I’ve never had arm technique explained to me so well before. It was worth traveling 2500 km from Calama to Puerto Varas just to see you. I love your technique. You are everything that is right in the world of dance for someone who is just starting out. I’m a bit older, and with what I’ve studied with you, I feel like I’ve finally made progress in my lady styling.

Hello, hello! Good afternoon. Now that the show is over and the congress has come to an end, I want to applaud everyone present here. I truly enjoyed this short process; the good vibes were always there with everyone, and I had a great time. It was a pleasure for me to dance with and meet so many masters from the south. Thank you to Maestro Irene for her excellent guidance and for being such a special human being—you are an angel on earth. We love you even more now. A big hug to everyone. To the people of this beautiful south, I hope we cross paths again. It was a pleasure.

Irene has helped me grow so much as a dancer since I started learning from her. She introduced me to basic body movement, pachanga, caleño, and so much more, all in a clear and easy to understand way. Her feedback is precise thanks to her deep knowledge of salsa and her ability to spot and understand the smallest movements. It's rare to find a teacher as qualified, passionate, and skilled as Irene, and I can't recommend learning from her enough.

After meeting you in person, even though it was only for a few days, what I want to highlight most was your humility and empathy, your sense of camaraderie, and obviously, your teachings. You gave me advice that no one else had ever given me in all my years of study—details that I believe truly make a difference. In the workshop, I found it incredible how, by focusing on the basics, you managed to make everyone learn something new, both in the execution and in how to visualize and work through the movements.

Me encantó el taller! 😁🚀 Ahora entiendo porque mi profesora me dijo "si quieres aprender más sobre pachanga busca a Irene"

¡Un taller de Pachanga fantástico! Uno de los puntos fuertes fue que Irene desgloso la coreografía en pasos pequeños y manejables, lo que hace que aprender sea mucho más fácil de lo que parece. Entendí la esencia y el estilo de la Pachanga, no solo los movimientos, como por ejemplo el pasito Forrest Gump haha 😆 Muy entretenido y eso que tome la clase online.

Tuve la enorme suerte de realizar una formación personalizada con Irene Palomares, una artista excepcional y una bailarina a la que admiro profundamente. Viajé hasta Madrid especialmente para formarme con ella, tanto por su altísimo nivel artístico como por su gran calidad pedagógica. Durante ocho días intensivos y más de quince horas de trabajo personalizado, Irene me acompañó con una formación perfectamente estructurada, adaptada a mis necesidades y a mis objetivos. Su enseñanza es precisa, profunda y muy humana. Siempre estuvo atenta, disponible y comprometida con mi evolución como bailarina y profesora. Gracias a su acompañamiento, desarrollé una mayor precisión técnica y una comprensión más profunda del estilo femenino. Regresé de esta experiencia con herramientas valiosas y un material sólido para transmitir a mis alumnos. Sin duda, recomiendo a Irene Palomares como una de las mejores pedagogas y bailarinas que he tenido la oportunidad de conocer.
