Flamenco Dance - Beginners

Fun, passionate and, above all, feisty! Flamenco dance allows you to truly bring out the passion and fire within. Originating from Andalusia (Southern Spain), this dance style draws on Moorish culture, Jewish tradition, and Spanish gypsy heritage to give you the dance of your life!

During our Flamenco Dance - Beginners classes, you will pick up the essential foot/heel rhythms, posture, strength and body control required in Flamenco. You will also learn some of the hand movements and expressions needed to get to grips with this unique and expressive style of dance.
