What to expect
You'll spend an hour clapping rhythms alongside your instructor and other participants. Rather than watching someone else dance, you become part of the sound. The teacher breaks down the essential palmas patterns—the hand strikes that accompany singers and dancers—showing you which fingers strike, when to accent, and how different rhythms layer together. You'll feel how your body naturally wants to move with the beat. By the end, you'll recognise these patterns in actual flamenco performances and understand what musicians are communicating through their hands.
Good to know
The studio is centrally located but tucked away from main tourist routes. Sessions suit all fitness levels and ages. Pay what you think the experience was worth at the end. The space is fully accessible for wheelchair users, and carers can bring prams or sit with infants. Public transport is nearby.
