Flamenco:Dance, Music & History

17-24 JUNE 2025

Andalucia and Flamenco are inextricably intertwined. This 7 day course will explore the history of Flamenco, influences from around the world, its moorish heritage and the modern-day interpretations. You will learn the beats, rhythms, and choreography accompanied by guitar and the cajón. Natalie, our tutor, is English and trained in Sevilla, and her band are Spanish.

The course will include a visit to the caves of Sacromonte, in Granada, to see a performance followed by tapas and more spontaneous dance in the intimate setting of one of our favourite city centre bars. There will also be one day of leisure during which you may wish to visit the famous Alhambra Palace.

At the end of the week, the tutors and students will be invited to perform in the village square to residents of the village.

No previous dance experience necessary, just lots of enthusiasm. If you would like to specialise in Flamenco guitar, or the cajón, and have some musical experience this can be arranged.

accomodation

Accommodation is on a full-board basis in a charming rural hotel located in the very historic village of Moclín, about 35 minutes’ drive from Granada city and airport. Guests will have private twin ensuite bedrooms (you will never be asked to share a room), all of which are spacious and very traditionally Andalucian in style. All classes will be held in the large studios in the hotel, and there will be plenty of opportunity to get out and explore the glorious surrounding countryside. The property, which is exclusively ours for the week, is arranged around a central open courtyard, has a roof terrace and is right on the edge of the village with panoramic views over the surrounding landscape.
