Thank you for your interest in flamenco classes!
The COVID-19 pandemic has thankfully passed, but many students continue to appreciate the personalized, semi-private learning environment that we have cultivated as a result of the widespread and long disruption.
For the time being, we are continuing to offer semi-private, in-person classes in a private studio in midtown central Phoenix, with the option to join online from across the country via Zoom!
