Flamenco, Sevillanas and Spanish Dance in London

Join our Thursday Improvers Flamenco Classes at Danceworks, 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

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.

💃🕺 Come and start your Saturday with flamenco! ❤️

Discover flamenco from the inside out. Theory, dance workshop, and social practice — all in one afternoon. No experience needed.

What if you could not only learn the steps of flamenco, but actually understand the music, rhythm and traditions behind them?
Welcome to Flamenco Lab, a new three-hour flamenco dance experience combining learning, dancing and social practice in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Designed and led by Flamenco with Maika, this special session takes you beyond simply copying choreography. You will discover how flamenco works, explore one of its traditional palos through movement, and then have the opportunity to put everything into practice socially.
No previous knowledge of flamenco dance is required. Whether you are completely new to flamenco dance, already taking classes, or simply curious about Spanish culture and this extraordinary art form, you are very welcome.

1:30–2:30 pm | Discover Flamenco
Interactive Introduction to Flamenco Dance & Palos

We begin with an accessible and interactive introduction to the fascinating world of flamenco.
Together, we’ll explore the foundations of flamenco dance, its cultural background, rhythm and compás, and how movement connects with music and singing. We may also discover some of the different styles, moods and characters within flamenco.
This is not a formal lecture! We will listen, clap, participate, ask questions and experience the rhythms together, helping you understand flamenco in a practical and enjoyable way.

2:30–3:30 pm | Dance Flamenco
Practical Workshop
Now we take what we have discovered and bring it to the dance floor.
Each Flamenco Lab will focus on a particular flamenco palo, allowing us to explore its rhythm, character, movement and expression through a practical dance workshop.
You’ll have the opportunity to work on elements of flamenco dance such as posture, arm and hand movements, footwork, rhythm and musicality. You may also explore expression, character and simple movements or combinations connected to the compás and music.
Rather than simply learning steps, you will begin to understand why and how those steps belong to the music.

3:30–4:30 pm | Flamenco Social
Practise • Dance • Connect
The final hour is yours to enjoy.
We turn the space into a relaxed Flamenco Social, where you can practise what you have learnt, dance, experiment with the rhythms, ask questions and share the experience with other flamenco lovers.
There is no pressure to perform and no need to remember a complete choreography. The idea is simply to dance, practise, connect and enjoy flamenco together.

Three hours. Three ways to experience flamenco.

Whether this is your first encounter with flamenco dance or you already dance and want to deepen your understanding, Flamenco Lab offers a different way to experience this incredible art form.

💃🕺 Flamenco is for everyone.
