For beginners, character shoes or any shoes with a block heel work well. As you progress, you'll want proper flamenco shoes with nails for authentic footwork. We can recommend Edinburgh suppliers.

Comfortable clothing that allows movement - leggings or trousers work perfectly. A flared skirt is helpful but not essential. We have practice skirts available to borrow for your first few classes.

Flamenco is complex but we break it down into manageable steps. We start with basic footwork and gradually add arm movements and rhythms. With regular practice, you'll be amazed at your progress.

Regular classes use recorded music, but we host special workshops with live guitar accompaniment throughout the year. This helps you understand the deep connection between dance and music in flamenco.

Flamenco combines percussive footwork, expressive arms, and rhythmic hand clapping. It's a UNESCO-recognised art form from Andalusia that expresses deep emotions - from joy to sorrow - through movement.

Yes! Our drop-in system means you can start whenever you're ready. While we run structured courses, beginners are always welcome. We'll help you integrate smoothly into the class.
