instructor Overview
Sophia de Leon Sanchez
Sophia de Leon Sanchez has been studying and performing flamenco for 17 years. She has had the privilege of training closely with some of the finest flamenco artists in Spain, including Paloma Gomez, Carmela Greco, Eduardo Guerrero, Raquel Heredia, and Adi Movdat, as well as many esteemed teachers in the U.S. For five years, she was actively involved with Dance Chicago, where she performed numerous original choreographies in theaters across the city. Sophia has since relocated from Chicago to Sonoma and is thrilled to bring her passion, knowledge, and expertise in flamenco to her new community. As the 2025 Dance Artist in Residence, her work will culminate in a performance in late 2025.

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
