Flamenco Dance for Improvers

Join our Sunday Improvers Flamenco Classes at Danceworks with Maika Jimenez Blanco — a welcoming and energetic space to continue developing your flamenco technique, artistry and confidence.
These classes are designed for students who already have some flamenco experience and would like to deepen their understanding of flamenco technique and choreography in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Each session includes:

• Footwork technique (zapateado)
• Arm and hand technique (braceos y floreos)
• Turns, coordination and posture
• Flamenco rhythm and musicality
• Choreography work
• Expression, confidence and performance skills

We work on traditional flamenco styles while also building strength, elegance and stage presence. The atmosphere is friendly, motivating and inclusive, with attention to both technique and enjoyment.

Current choreography work includes Tangos de Triana and other exciting flamenco repertoire throughout the year.
Whether you want to improve your dancing, reconnect with your creativity, or simply enjoy the passion and energy of flamenco every Sunday, you will be very welcome.
