This gentle introduction and overview class assumes no knowledge of flamenco dance. We will cover several palos (flamenco rhythms) at a level suitable for complete beginners. Each monthly session, we will learn new material. The level will be appropriate for people with no flamenco training or those with up to a year of classes.
You may register at class. New students are always welcome.
Individual Class: $20
Ten-class cards are also available for purchase at class for $150 (cash or check).
At class, payment is accepted in cash or check only.
Come to class in something comfortable, with a long full skirt being optional for women, and with stable shoes with a short, thick heel, or sneakers (must have clean soles to wear in the studio). Wear something comfortable you can move in, yoga pants and a t-shirt for example. No high heels, ballroom shoes, or platform shoes please. Character shoes are fine if you have them.
Most people get flamenco shoes online. They have nails in the toes and heels to make sound.
Some websites that sell quality shoes from Spain include:
qtoma
flamencoshoes.com
Senovilla
A dance student is a local distributor of Senovilla shoes and I can put you in contact with her.
She has shoes available to try on before buying.
The absolute beginner class is followed by a separate beginner technique class; the technique class requires flamenco shoes.

The monthly session discounted price of $60 amounts to one free class, so there is no makeup policy for a missed class. If you expect to miss more than one class, we recommend that you purchase classes individually (drop-in).
