FAQs

What can I expect from flamenco dance?

Flamenco offers a wonderful outlet for personal expression. Classes are mentally and physically stimulating, good exercise and great for posture. Flamenco is a challenging art form which leaves room for continuous learning.

I have never danced before, am I going to be the only one in the class with no experience?

I think this is the most common question I get. I would say that 80% of my new students have never taken a dance class before in their lives, so you will be just fine!

I have a background in dance, should I still go to the beginner course?

Chances are that if you have a strong previous dance background, you might learn fast, however as you know, getting the basics right is crucial to be able to develop your skills later on, so starting from the beginning is really important, as it is the only course were the basics are explained thoroughly.

Can I make up missed classes?

Students are allowed to make up missed class within a term. You can take a make up in any class other than your own, during the same session. But it makes most sense to try to make up a class in a level similar to your regular class or lower; otherwise you may find that you spend a good part of the hour confused by the complexity of the material.

Do you offer classes for children?

Yes we do, however it is a small group and it runs on a semi-private basis. Please contact Maria if you are interested, kids, love flamenco! It is great for their coordination, musicality, posture and memory.
