Andalucia, the birthplace of Flamenco. One might even argue that you cannot truly experience Flamenco without having been to Andalucia. The capital of Andalucia, Seville (or "Sevilla" in Spanish), offers exceptional classes for Flamenco enthusiasts and beginners alike. The city itself is a mesmerizing mix of Spanish and Moorish surroundings. You will easily find yourself lost in a labyrinth of narrow cobblestoned alleys and wind up in a local Flamenco Tablao. Olé!

If you're planning a visit to Seville, don't forget to bring your zapatos (dancing shoes), and sign up at the following schools!

The Juan Polvillo Flamenco Dance School situates itself within the tradition of gypsy flamenco. The school offers each student a personalized service, small group classes to avoid overcrowding, and a level of teaching appropriate to each student's own capabilities. The school bases its teachings upon a thorough grounding of choreography and technique. In addition to flamenco dance courses, the school also offers guitar courses, Sevillanas (a traditional four-part dance), compás  (rhythm) and palmas (hand clapping) courses. Please visit Escuela Flamenca Juan Polvillo for more details.

The Alicia Marquez Flamenco Dance Academy directs its study and offers classes with an artistic approach to Flamenco. The academy's greater interest is to encourage students to express his/her feelings in the dance, while working with individuality and further comprehension of technique, compás (rhythm), palos (forms), and the structure between baile (dance), cante (song), and guitarra (guitar).
