Dear Friends, Flamenco & Classical Spanish Dance come from very rich cultural sources. So in my classes, I invite you to go beyond mere dance movements within the confines of a studio. 'Plug into' Spain to enrich your experiences and draw inspiration! Here's the schedule for my in-person classes.

Discover what speaks to your heart: from leisurely Rumba, to rhythmic Flamenco, upbeat Pasodoble, or a gentler classical Spanish Dance. Anyone can dance in these fun and spontaneous sessions!

Venue
Sundays, 09.00am - 10.30am (1.5h)
Level: Intermediate
Learn: More than a choreography, you will have introduction to the interaction of dance to live song and guitar. This is a preparation for students to eventually dance to live flamenco in the future.
Here, we work on the style & technique, based on the choreography.
You will be accompanied either by live song, an occasional guitarist or with music recordings that enable you to understand comparatively the variations you will encounter in live flamenco.

Sundays, 11.30pm – 12.30pm (1h)
Level: Beginners
Learn: Dance foundation, body awareness, coordination and dance extracts.
Move with Confident Beauty! Experience the elegance and poise of Classical Spanish Dance. Suitable for any one who wants to enjoy dance and its uplifting benefits.
Gain body awareness, build coordination and rhythm to inspiring music, keeping the mind, body and heart going! With Spanish Dance, have fun learning about Spanish culture too!
Castanets: You can learn to dance with or without castanets.
For those without castanets background, we recommend you do this class without castanets. This Sunday class is dance movement-based so we would not be going through introductory techniques of castanets. Therefore, if you are keen to learn to play, you can take up our castanets & music class (Fridays). That class (which is not a dance class) will focus purely on the introductory techniques of castanets (how to put them on, basic foundation), rhythm and musicality.
Sundays, 11.30am – 12.30pm (1h)

In this class, we explore the Tanguillos, a fun lively dance associated with the Southern seaside town of Cádiz.
As this class intended for beginners, you’ll get to learn and build a 4-beat rhythm-foundation. Gain awareness of how to work your body, arms and ‘flamenco fingers’, flow with movement and the feeling of dance.
