LEVELS
Intermediate: This course is only for those who have been dancing regularly for at least five or six years*. Usually the participants have danced several of the palos, or styles and can catch on quickly to the new steps. They need to have experience dancing tangos, alegrías, soleá por bulerías and bulerías.
Advanced/Professional: This course is for professional flamenco dancers, although non-professionals may enrol on this very advanced course if they have been dancing for at least seven or eight years. Students will normally have danced all of the main flamenco dance styles.
*These indications of time are only a suggestion and can vary significantly according to the abilities, age and learning aptitude of each person, as well as to the time each student is willing to invest into practicing. Our experience shows that in case of doubt it is better to choose a lower level. |

| FREE CULTURAL PROGRAMME |
 |
|
A cultural programme consisting of talks and cultural visits is included in the price of any course. A talk on Granada (which includes practical information about the city, location of places of interest, restaurants, etc. on a map, opening times) and another on the Alhambra in which important information is given before the visit. The cultural visits are to different places in the city of great artistic/historical interest or with stunning scenery and views. Visits are organised to the important historic quarters, and also churches, monuments and museums. A teacher from the school, who is an expert both in the subject and the teaching of Spanish to foreigners, is responsible for the entire cultural programme, and can therefore be easily understood by students who do not have a good knowledge of the language.

Tailormade for Flamenco
One-Day-Flamenco-Workshops
Tailormade courses for Flamenco We can organize courses for groups for Flamenco or for a combination of Spanish with flamenco, for the required length, tailormade for each group and at any time of the year. The courses, which can last 3 hours daily (of 60 minutes) or less, can be combined with various cultural activities, as historic-artistic visits to the different quarters of Granada and excursions outside Granada, like the Alpujarras (south side of the Sierra Nevada with impressing nature and white villages), Cordoba, Sevilla, etc.
Although our minimum age to attend the school normally is 18 years, on request we also organize Spanish Courses for Adolescents, offering the possibility of hosting them in Spanish families.
The budget depends on the requirements and will be personalized.
One-Day-Flamenco-Workshops Our One-Day-Flamenco-Workshops, are classes organized on a certain day for a pre-arranged group. You can choose between or combine the following options:
Compás Workshop (Rhythm) This workshop consists of a flamenco rhythm class (beginner level) for groups who come to visit Granada and would like to have an introduction to the rhythm and clapping of flamenco to better understand and enjoy a performance in a Flamenco Tablao, which we can also reserve.
The group`s size can be from 10 to 25 people, but there can be 2 groups if there are more than 25 people. The course lasts one hour and is given by a dancer accompanied by a guitarist.
Dance Workshop This workshop consists of a flamenco dance class for beginners. Similar to the compas workshop, it is designed for groups visiting Granada that wish to have an introduction to flamenco, but besides clapping also want to move their hips and dare to try out some flamenco steps.
There are between 6 and 12 people in one class, but if there are more people, there can be two groups at the same time. The course lasts one hour and is given by a dancer, accompanied by a guitarist.
Flamenco Talk and Demonstration This option consists of a theoretical exploration of flamenco, explaining what flamenco is and the relationship between singing, guitar and dance. At the same time it is a small performance, as every explanation is followed by a practical demonstration with singing, guitar and dance. If required, it can be simultaneously translated into English.
The group’s size is from minimum 10 to maximum 40 people and lasts one hour.
Tablao Flamenco We can make a reservation for a flamenco show in a Tablao near the school which can be combined with one of the workshops or the talk demonstration to truly appreciate the flamenco experience.
