What’s the experience like?

The first thing that hit me was the faint scent of cologne and old wood as I stepped into the studio, tucked away just off a narrow street near Plaza de la Alfalfa. Our teacher—María, who’s danced since she was six—welcomed us with a quick smile and handed each of us a bright carnation. She explained it’s tradition to wear one behind your ear or tucked into your hair, even if you’re just starting out.

We started slow, learning how to hold our arms just so and flick our wrists—a movement that looks simple until you try it yourself. The sound of heels tapping echoed through the room, mixing with laughter when someone missed a beat (usually me). María showed us how to listen for the rhythm in the guitar music playing softly from an old speaker in the corner. After about half an hour, sweat beaded on my forehead but I didn’t care—I was too busy trying to keep up with the footwork.

By the end of the 90 minutes, we’d pieced together a short routine. It wasn’t perfect, but I could feel something click—the pride in getting through it, even if my hands were shaky. María clapped for us and said we’d done well for first-timers. On my way out, I caught a glimpse of another class warming up; their shoes thudded on the floorboards as they practiced steps I now recognized. If you’re curious about flamenco but nervous to try, this is honestly the place to start. They’ll adapt if you’ve danced before too.
