Meet our founder
The Flamenco Academy is led by a principal instructor whose own journey back to dance shapes everything we teach.
Shun Clayton
Principal & Founder
Shun Clayton's journey in dance has come full circle. An alumna of the prestigious Arts Educational School, Tring, Shun began her career training in ballet, jazz, and contemporary before life led her on a different path.
During the pandemic, she reclaimed her passion, returning to London to master the art of flamenco. Under the elite tutelage of Nuria García at the London School of Flamenco, Shun achieved her qualifications in record time, a feat her mentor noted as truly exceptional.
Now, as a certified Spanish Dance Society (SDS) instructor (Levels 1 & 2), Shun is launching her own school in Malaysia with a three-fold mission: to establish a world-class flamenco hub, provide free training for underprivileged talent, and fund scholarships for overseas study.
Her classes go beyond the steps, blending technical rigor with the history and theory of the dance, all while teaching students how to project their soul to an audience.
