| Who can attend the classes?
Everybody is welcome to join: men and women of all
ages. Children can start from the age of 5.
When do courses start?
The School runs different courses for different
levels throughout the year. Courses tend to start with the term
but it doesn't always work like that for all the courses. To keep
updated on new courses, workshops, flamenco performances, trips
to Spain and other events please sign up to our mailing list.
How do I register for the
first class?
Formal registration is not required. You can pay
for the class you attend. If later you decide to pay per course,
we will discount any previous payment from the total course fee.
Everybody is welcome to turn up on the day, although we recommend calling before your visit.
What level should I attend?
Please go to the class timetable for levels. If
you are not sure which level to attend, email or call us for advice.
We recommend you try a couple of classes until you find the one
that suits your needs. Once you come to one of the classes and
we see you in action we will be more able to advise you what level
is the best for you.
What should I wear?
For your first class you don't need to bring flamenco
shoes/boots or skirts. You can bring a court shoe or a shoe with
a thick heel if possible and a flared skirt for women. Men can
wear any type of shoe except for trainers. Once you try the class
and you decide to join in we will advise you what sort of shoes/boots
or clothes you need and where to buy them. We recommend new students to check with your teacher what sort of shoes or skirt you need so you buy the right gear. Returns and exchanges can be painful!
How much do classes cost?
Prices vary depending on the class and payment method you choose. If you pay for the whole course, it works out cheaper than paying per class – please contact us for a full price list.
It might seem that our classes are more expensive than others. However, all classes have live guitar accompaniment, and take place in easily accessible, spacious studios where you will be able to dance and move freely. Please be patient at the beginning of a new course, as more people may attend than usual for the first couple of classes. Numbers tend to go down after the third or fourth class.
Where do classes take place?
The classes take place at two main venues in Covent
Garden (Jubilee Hall) and Euston (The Place, London Contemporary
Dance School). Occasionally we might use other venues in central
London for special workshops.
Our studios are situated in great locations 5 minutes
walk from transport. All the venues offer facilities, spacious
studios with high ceilings, full length mirrors, changing rooms,
showers, canteen, waiting area, etc. You will have lots of space
where you can practice your moves!
What else does the School
offer?
The school participates at dance events, summer festivals and parades, trips, outings, presentations… Students able to perform a full choreography will be invited to take part in presentations and performances.
You also will have a chance to socialise at our "Juergas", which are gatherings of flamenco amateurs. Come and have a drink and chat to your class mates, and enjoy dancing the moves you have learnt in class!!! All Juergas are accompanied by live flamenco music and involve professional flamenco guitarists, singers and dancers. For more information about Juergas coming up please sign up to our mailing list.
Sometimes the school offers its members special discounts for flamenco shows taking place at city theatres. We are given free tickets for exhibitions and other events related to art and dance. What are you waiting for? Join our mailing list to participate in these exclusive offers!
Ilusion Flamenca! Dance School works in collaboration with "Chiqui de Jerez" flamenco school. Those willing to experience flamenco in situ please check our information about courses in the south of Spain. For those not able to travel to Spain the school organises weekend intensive courses in London with artists brought from Spain.
Every year the School organizes a trip to "The Feria" in the South of Spain. A Feria is a popular celebration where Spaniards enjoy dancing Sevillanas, eating and drinking. Everybody is welcome to join us for an unforgettable holiday. This is a must for a flamenco lover!!!
