A joyful first introduction to the wonderful world of flamenco! 💃🕺🎶
Flamenco Junior is specially designed for children aged 3 and 4, introducing them to flamenco through movement, music and play in a fun, nurturing and age-appropriate environment.
Using music, clapping, simple rhythms, imaginative activities and flamenco-inspired movements, children will begin to explore rhythm, arms, footwork and expression, while developing coordination, balance, musicality, body awareness and confidence.
At this age, the focus isn't on complicated technique. It's about learning through play, enjoying movement and discovering the joy of flamenco and Spanish culture. ❤️

Flamenco Rumba Class & Social – Soho 💃🕺
Learn rumba flamenca and join our flamenco social in Soho, London.
Rumba flamenca is one of the palos de Ida y Vuelta — a fusion of Cuban rumba, Andalusian flamenco, and Catalan rumba. Rhythmic, expressive, and full of duende. Whether you're completely new to flamenco or you've been taking classes and need more practice space, this is your space.
What to expect:
1.5 hours of rumba flamenca class (beginners welcome — we'll teach you from scratch) with 10-minute break
1.5 hours of social practice where you can work on what you've learned, dance freely, and connect with other flamenco students
Welcoming, inclusive atmosphere — come alone or with friends
Your ticket includes 1 complimentary drink (soft drink, small wine, or sangria)
The class is taught by Flamenco con Maika, a dance school and project led by Maika Jiménez Blanco, an instructor with more than 18 years of international experience.
Why come?
Flamenco students often struggle to find spaces to practise socially outside of formal classes. And if you're not ready to commit to monthly lessons but want to try flamenco occasionally, this is exactly what you need. Come dance, meet people who love Spanish culture, and maybe stay for dinner after (our Spanish kitchen is upstairs!).
No performance pressure. This is a social, not a showcase. Come as you are.
Important information:
Rumba flamenca is a solo flamenco style (you don't need a partner)
We'll work on footwork (zapateado), arms (braceo), and compás (rhythm)
The social hour is relaxed — no pressure, just practice and fun
All levels welcome — most attendees are beginners or intermediate
Minimum number of attendees required. The organiser reserves the right to cancel up to 24 hours before the event if minimum numbers aren't reached. Full refund will be issued if cancelled. Attendees may cancel up to 2 days before the event for a full refund.

The course culminates in a live performance at the Danceworks Showcase at The London Oratory School Theatre on Saturday 24 October 2026—an unforgettable opportunity to celebrate your progress and share your passion for Sevillanas with family, friends and fellow dance lovers.
Whether your goal is to build confidence, improve your performance skills, or simply experience the thrill of dancing on stage, this course offers a rewarding and inspiring journey in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Flamenco Performance Course
Take the Stage. Celebrate Your Flamenco Journey.
The Flamenco Performance Course is the perfect opportunity to transform everything you have learnt throughout the academic year into an unforgettable live performance.
Designed for Improvers who have been attending my regular Flamenco classes during the 2025–2026 academic year, this five-week course is dedicated to refining, polishing and bringing to life one of the choreographies we have studied together.
Rather than learning a new choreography, this course focuses on refining and bringing to the stage one of the choreographies studied during the 2025–2026 Flamenco Improvers classes. At the beginning of the course, the students will collectively choose which piece they would like to perform from the repertoire we have explored together throughout the year—such as Soleá, Caña, El Amor Brujo or Tangos de Triana. Together, we will then polish every detail, working on technique, musicality, expression and stage presence to transform it into a performance of the highest quality.
Throughout the course, we will work on:
✨ Musicality and rhythm
✨ Expression and flamenco artistry
✨ Technique, precision and confidence
✨ Stage presence and projection
✨ Spatial awareness and group formations
✨ Working as a performance ensemble
✨ Connecting with the audience through authentic flamenco
As we rehearse, you will gain a deeper understanding of what it means to perform flamenco, developing not only your dancing but also your confidence, presence and ability to communicate emotion on stage.
The course culminates in a live performance at the Danceworks Showcase, held at The London Oratory School Theatre on Saturday 24 October 2026. It is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the progress you have made throughout the year and to share your passion for flamenco with family, friends and a live audience.
Whether this is your first performance or you're returning to the stage, this course offers an inspiring and supportive environment where every dancer can shine while experiencing the excitement of performing as part of a flamenco company.

Flamenco Performance Course
Take the Stage. Celebrate Your Flamenco Journey.
The Flamenco Performance Course is the perfect opportunity to transform everything you have learnt throughout the academic year into an unforgettable live performance.
Designed for Improvers who have been attending my regular Flamenco classes during the 2025–2026 academic year, this five-week course is dedicated to refining, polishing and bringing to life one of the choreographies we have studied together.
Rather than learning a new choreography, this course focuses on refining and bringing to the stage one of the choreographies studied during the 2025–2026 Flamenco Improvers classes. At the beginning of the course, the students will collectively choose which piece they would like to perform from the repertoire we have explored together throughout the year—such as Soleá, Caña, El Amor Brujo or Tangos de Triana. Together, we will then polish every detail, working on technique, musicality, expression and stage presence to transform it into a performance of the highest quality.
Throughout the course, we will work on:
✨ Musicality and rhythm
✨ Expression and flamenco artistry
✨ Technique, precision and confidence
✨ Stage presence and projection
✨ Spatial awareness and group formations
✨ Working as a performance ensemble
✨ Connecting with the audience through authentic flamenco
As we rehearse, you will gain a deeper understanding of what it means to perform flamenco, developing not only your dancing but also your confidence, presence and ability to communicate emotion on stage.
The course culminates in a live performance at the Danceworks Showcase, held at The London Oratory School Theatre on Saturday 24 October 2026. It is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the progress you have made throughout the year and to share your passion for flamenco with family, friends and a live audience.
Whether this is your first performance or you're returning to the stage, this course offers an inspiring and supportive environment where every dancer can shine while experiencing the excitement of performing as part of a flamenco company.
