Maria Fernanda Tondolo
Director and Flamenco Instructor
Maria Fernanda Tondolo (MAFE), the founder and director of TEMPO Dance Academy, has led the institution for six successful years. Her passion for flamenco began at a very young age, participating in renowned productions of prestigious flamenco academies. She gained knowledge from various masters, evolving from a dancer to an accomplished teacher. Her love for this art form, and dance in general, inspired her to create TEMPO with the goal of introducing and sharing the flamenco culture she is so passionate about with the Orlando community.
As a director, Mafe has ensured that every student receives the highest quality dance education, supported by a team of professional dancers. Over the past six years, she has produced six notable productions, recognized for their quality, creativity, and positive impact on audiences. Despite being deeply involved in growing the academy and acquiring more knowledge to enhance Tempo’s productions and performances, she has never abandoned her love for teaching. She constantly manages her schedule to be present in our classrooms, imparting her expertise directly to students.
Mafe's grand dream is now the shared dream of all the families and students who have believed in and supported her project. TEMPO Dance Academy has become more than just a dance school; it has evolved into a vibrant community and a family.
She is Mafe,
