Karla Flórez Albor. Autobiography. I was born in Barranquilla, Colombia where I grew up and went to get a University Degree in Social Communications – Journalism. I also have Certificates in several areas of Contemporary Dance, obtained in B/quilla and Bogota, Colombia as well as in Cuba where I studied for a period of my life. This training added to my initial participation since early age in the folkloric dances from the yearly Barranquilla’s Carnaval.
In the year 1995, while living in Bogota, Colombia, I founded “Ombligo’e Kazabe Contemporary Dance Co.” I also worked as an Art teacher for government agencies in educational projects, for University and College level courses and for private dance academies.
For the last three years I have been teaching Dance and Music and Movement at the Performing Arts Conservatory of New York, PACONY, formerly known as Unison, located in Queens. I have also taught the same at the Cathedral Greek School in Manhattan and the Renaissance Charter School in Jackson Heights, Queens. As part of the work with Ombligo'e Kazabe I have been teaching Spanish as well.
At this moment I am pursuing a Teacher Certificate in the Dalcroze Methodology at the Julliard School in NYC and I am also developing a “Spanish Through the Arts” program, using Colombian folklore and cultural references. Additionally I am taking music classes in the Music program at Pacony in Queens. I have also engaged in research for contemporary dance inspired on the movements of the Colombian Caribbean folklore.
I have written five small-format children’s books that combine the different areas that I work with such as dance, music, and hands and crafts, focused in teaching Spanish through the Arts. The five titles are: El gusano verde, Las manitos, El elefante, La eñe que sueña, La noche y el sueño.
I've performed and gave workshops in: Colombia, La Habana and Romerias de Holguin in Cuba, Movement Research, PS. 122, Carnegie Hall, Our Lady of the Angelus School, in N.Y. and recently at the University of Evansville in Indiana.
