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 organizing flamenco workshops for schools across London and the rest of 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, coordination, posture and arm and feet movements. By the end of the session they will be able to perform a truly flamenco short dance.
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
- A simple discussion in Spanish, tailored to the children’s ability
- A brief history of flamenco with photos
- An explanation of the costumes and accessories used in flamenco
- A dance demonstration using castanets
- A sequence of steps for pupils to learn to music
- A simple worksheet for pupils to complete
- Question and answer session
Our colourful introduction to flamenco workshops are for children of all ages and will be enjoyed both by pupils and teachers. We can also perform at school assemblies, and special events such as language days and arts days. Please email schools@ilusionflamenca.co.uk with your requirements!



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!
