On Friday 10 February (5.30pm - 6.30pm) we are running a taster class in Flamenco dance for adult Beginners in the dance studio at Pegasus Theatre, Oxford. This class will enable you to try out Flamenco dance without having to make a long term committment.

The class will be taught by Rosa Maria Reed, Camino del Flamenco's most experienced Flamenco dance teacher who specialises in making Flamenco dance accessible, enjoyable and fun to learn. For this class you don't need previous Flamenco dance experience - it's suitable for complete beginners and for people who have previously done a little Flamenco, but want to learn more.

You don't need to have a high level of fitness to enjoy Flamenco and it's not danced in partners. It’s a passionate, lively and energetic dance and it's all about enjoying the music and the rhythms as you dance. 

Dancing Flamenco burns up to 500 calories in a 1 hour class and as it’s a very expressive dance style, helping you to get rid of stress and tension. Learning to perfect physical skills builds confidence and helps with co-ordination. Dancing Flamenco develops and strengthens your core body muscles, tones your arm and leg muscles, improves your posture and builds overall stamina. Learning dance choreography is a scientifically proven way to keep your brain sharp and to actually improve brain performance in the long term.

Students who enjoy this class will be pleased to know that Camino del Flamenco will be running a longer course in Flamenco dance for Beginners at Pegasus from March.
