Learning to dance flamenco in Granada
A flamenco dance class works on the compás of each palo, technique —zapateado, arm movements, hands, turns— and a choreography built up over the course or the week. In Granada, besides the usual palos, tangos and the zambra of the Sacromonte are danced, and some schools hold their classes in the caves themselves.
Year-round or intensive course
Neighbourhood schools —in the Realejo, the Ronda, the Zaidín or the metropolitan area— run courses from September or October to June, with groups by age and level one or two evenings a week. Those in the Albaicín and the Spanish-language schools in the centre also offer week-by-week courses, with daily classes starting any Monday. If you live here, the first; if you're coming for a while, the second.
Children, adults and sevillanas
Many schools have children's groups —from age three or four in several— and adults' groups starting from scratch. Several also teach sevillanas, which can be learnt in a few weeks and are a good way into compás.
What to bring to the first class
Comfortable clothes and, if you have them, flamenco shoes with nails; for the first class a low-heeled, hard-soled shoe will usually do. Women will find a practice skirt helpful for learning how to move it. The school will tell you where to buy the rest in Granada.
