Detailed course itinerary
Tucked away at the top of a hill with views of the Alhambra, this maze of caves, rooms, terraces and staircases houses a traditional Flamenco dance studio which is used by locals, visitors, gypsies and payos from beginners to professional dancers.
Whatever your level, experienced dance teachers will help to unleash the dancer within you by teaching you the techniques of Flamenco dance according to your level.
All classes are accompanied by a Flamenco guitarist as you learn how to express yourself as a Flamenco dancer and to recognise the relationship between the Flamenco guitar, singers and dancer.
At the end of the course, the school hopes you will have developed your dancer’s personality and will be stomping around the floor with your new found Flamenco skills.
