Flamenco workshops for primary and secondary schools
Guitar, castanets, fans, shawls, colourful polka dot dresses and frills, not to mention lots of stomping – every child will enjoy an introduction to flamenco!
We specialise in flamenco workshops for schools across London and the UK. In our workshops, we introduce the children to the history of this art form, and give a live dance demonstration in traditional costume. Accompanied by live guitar music pupils will learn about rhythm and flamenco basic moves. By the end of the session they will be able to perform a traditionnal short dance sequence.
We aim to combine education with fun in our workshops and we can tailor these to your specific needs. Our workshops include:
- An introduction in Spanish (taking into account the student’s ability)
- A dance display using castanets
- A brief history of flamenco, the costumes and accessories used
- A sequence of steps for pupils to learn to music
- A simple worksheet for pupils to complete
- Q&A session
Our workshops are for children of all ages and are enjoyed both by pupils and teachers. We can also perform at school assemblies, and special events such as internationnal language day and cultural week. Please email schools@ilusionflamenca.co.uk for more information.
We were delighted with the demonstration, explanation of the steps, and how well all the pupils responded. Your team performed tremendously and taught our pupils so well in such a short space of time.

The workshops were fantastic! The children loved them and both the students and staff alike were in awe at the performance. Absolutely brilliant, we will definitely be asking you back!

Some of our Y7 students told a member of our senior leadership team that it was the best thing they had done in school!
