Flamenco

Flamenco is a genre of music, song and dance that evolved in Spain over centuries.  It is highly influenced by the nomadic gypsies that brought the arts and culture from the ends of the earth including China, India and the Middle East. 

Flamenco is known for its emotional intensity, proud carriage, expressive use of the arms and rhythmic stamping of the feet.

The Cante (singing), Toque (guitar playing), dance and Palmas (handclaps) are the principal facets of flamenco. As with any dance form, many different styles of flamenco have developed. We have classes for absolute beginners, right through to advanced dancers. Our teachers have had years of experience in Spain, the UK and the USA mastering their craft in Flamenco. 

The Flamenco Basics class is the ideal place for those with no dance experience to begin their flamenco journey. 

We have plenty of practice skirts for students to borrow in class. Flamenco shoes are not compulsory when you begin, but a hard-soled shoe with a small heel (for both male and female students) is suggested to get the most out of the class.
