How it works
The classes are on going January to July. The year is divided in 3 terms, September to December, January to April (up to Easter) and after Easter to middle of July. Each term is 12/13 weeks approximately, divided in 2 blocks of 6/7 weeks. We give priority to those booking for the block in full and offer any spaces left to those willing to attend on a drop in basis. We work on a different choreography each term.
You can join anytime even if the course has already started. The earlier the better!
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I wear for my first lesson?
Ladies for your first class a pair of court shoes or any pair of comfortable thick-heeled shoes will work well, expect a lot of stomping. You may also bring a flared maxi skirt if you wish. Gentlemen, please avoid trainers.
Can I try before committing to the course?
Not sure if flamenco is for you? Would you like to give it a try before registering for the full weekly course? We offer beginner taster lessons or you are welcome to attend a single drop in trial lesson at £20.
Where can I buy flamenco gear?
We have good quality handmade semi-professional flamenco shoes, boots and beginner skirts for sale at competitive prices. Let your teacher know and they will advice you on requirements before making any purchases.
Once you have joined our weekly class, you may buy your equipment from us, just let us know so that we can bring them in for you to try on. We strongly recommend not buying any of your gear online before trying on.
Can I borrow flamenco shoes from you?
We have some shoes and skirts that we hire out to students on a first come first basis. The fee is £5 (for both items) which we donate to charity.
