Each term is 12-14 weeks approximately, divided in 2 blocks of 6/7 weeks. We give priority to those booking for the block in full and offer any spaces left to those willing to attend on a drop in basis. We work on a different choreography each term.

You can join anytime even if the course has already started. The earlier the better!

We can bring them to class for you to try on if you decide to join our weekly classes- ask us in advance. Please check with your teacher what type of shoes/skirts are required before buying. We do not recommend buying online without trying on first.

Can I borrow flamenco shoes from you?

We have some second hand shoes/skirts we hire to students on a first come first serve basis. The fee is £5 for both items which we donate to charity. Please let us know whether you would like to hire for your first lesson contacting us in advance to reserve them. Letting us know your size. It is more fun!. Please notice that if you decide join the course on a regular basis you will have to eventually outsource your own shoes. Check our charity work here

Yes! The way we structure our courses allows students to join any time. The soonest you join obviously the better! We also offer private lessons to help students catch up if needed. We will do our best to accommodate you.

The blocs are sold as a unit and it is not possible to discount missed lessons from the total. You are welcome to make up for any missed prepaid lessons by attending any of our choreography classes or use the pay as you go option.

If you join once the block has started we will only charge you for the remaining weeks from your first lesson.
