Evelyn King Muñoz

Stage Door are excited to have Evelyn onboard as one of our Preschool Class Tutors and as our Flamenco Dance Class Tutor.

Trained both in dance and as a primary school teacher, and with ample experience performing on stage, and as a mum to her very own ‘Twinkler’ - Evelyn is the perfect Twinklers tutor!

The daughter of renowned flamenco artists, Evie has an innate passion for dance with a keen eye for movement. After a wonderful Andalusian upbringing in Spain, Evie relocated to New Zealand when she was eight. Once here, Evie trained as a ballet dancer for nine years before completing a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Spanish and cultural anthropology in Wellington. While studying Evie was thrilled to get the opportunity to indulge her passion for dance by performing in a Māori-Flamenco fusion work at the Spanish Embassy.

Returning home to Whakatāne, Evie pounced on the chance to play the lead dancer in Theatre Whakatane’s production of ‘Cats’ before she headed back to Europe where she took up a teaching position and was able to spend precious time with her Spanish familia. While there Evie immersed herself in the flamenco culture.

Evie returned home with her husband in 2017, and went on to complete a Graduate Diploma in Primary Teaching, whilst getting her dance fix in Theatre Whakatane’s production of ‘The Addams Family’. 

Now focused on raising their toddler bilingual, Evie is loving being part of a local small Spanish-speaking community.

Recently back from Spain, Evie is excited to be offering her first flamenco dance course!
