My Classes
Adult Flamenco Clases
Regular flamenco classes for adults of different levels, including beginners and improvers. These classes focus on technique, rhythm, posture, expression and choreography while introducing students to the rich traditions of flamenco.
Students work on different palos (styles) of flamenco, developing an understanding of their rhythms, musicality and character. Beginners are introduced to the essential foundations of flamenco, including posture, basic footwork, arm movements and musicality.
Improvers classes are designed for dancers who already have some basic knowledge of flamenco and wish to continue developing their technique, coordination and artistic expression. Students refine footwork, arm movements and musical interpretation while working on more complex choreography and deepening their understanding of flamenco styles.
Classes provide a welcoming and supportive environment where dancers can build confidence, develop their skills and enjoy the expressive power of flamenco.
No previous dance experience is required for beginner levels, only curiosity and enthusiasm.
