Classes are held in Brixton House, very close to Brixton tube station on Sundays 11.30 am - 12.20 pm. £12 drop in or £10 per class if paid by the term.
Learning flamenco allows children to develop a strong sense of rhythm and musicality, excellent physical coordination and an appreciation of the rich cultural heritage of this art form from Andalucia.

WHAT TO WEAR:
Children should wear clothes they are comfortable moving in. There is no need to buy flamenco shoes for your child's first flamenco classes but we will be doing some stamping of our feet so please wear comfortable sturdy shoes that will not slip off your feet too easily. Ideally they should wear a closed toe shoe with a small sturdy heel. For those wishing to use a skirt please wear one with enough volume and length that allows it to be picked up and moved around comfortably.
