코스 개요

Taking flamenco classes in Spain is an ideal way to compliment your Spanish course. Flamenco is an internationally recognized art form that was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010.

Originating in Andalusia, flamenco origins can be traced back to the fusion of various musical styles by the gypsies who have propelled the preservation and dissemination of flamenco around the world.

The flamenco course in Spain will introduce students to the song, dance and music that make up this artistic expression. Discover the passion and wide range of emotions that are expressed by the performer through complex techniques of foot stomping and hand clapping.

The flamenco course is taught at an academy by professional flamenco dance teachers who will adapt to your dance level whether you have studied flamenco in the past or not. The content is flexible and can be adapted to students' schedules and language level.

Originating from a fusion of Cuban and Caribbean styles, over time salsa has incorporated African percussion, American jazz, the Spanish guitar and other Latin American influences. The result is a dynamic, spicy, energetic and intense music that can also be slow, sensual and romantic. Salsa is normally danced with a partner but can also be danced alone.

Salsa is is highly known throughout the world, especially in Latin America and the United States. It has also become widely popular in countries like Germany, Israel, Spain, Japan, Portugal, France, Italy, and many more.
