Who teaches you
I am
Irene Palomares
For as long as I can remember, I've known I wanted to dance. As a little girl, instead of going out to the park, I stayed at home in front of the glass doors of the pantry, watching my reflection and dancing afternoon after afternoon.
My mission is to teach you to understand your body so you can dance with freedom, autonomy and absolute awareness.

What they say,
those who've been here
To be honest, Irene, with you I see the 1x2 in a different way. My basic step and posture changed, just with the corrections on arms, hips and knees. It changed me.
Irene has helped me grow so much as a dancer since I started learning from her. Her feedback is precise…
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.
A fantastic Pachanga workshop! Irene broke the choreography down into small, manageable steps, which makes learning far easier than it looks.
I had the great fortune of doing personalized training with Irene Palomares. I travelled to Madrid specifically to train with her…
Since I started with IP Academy, my way of dancing has completely changed. Every class has a clear purpose and you notice how you progress week by week.
Since everything's explained so well, I can go section by section, little by little. Even in everyday life I seem to move more gracefully, hahaha.
I've been dancing salsa for many years, but with Irene I've rediscovered it from scratch. A basic step felt like the very first time I ever did it.
I loved the workshop! Now I understand why my teacher told me “if you want to learn more about pachanga, look up Irene”.
