Welcome to La Escuela de Baile, the largest flamenco school in the UK. We are based in Central London.

Whether you are a keen flamenco dancer, an absolute beginner or just fancy some exercise, we have classes that cater for all levels. There are classes during the day in addition to the main evening sessions.

There is a thriving Children's Dance School which takes place on Saturdays. Students are given regular opportunities to perform and intensive courses are offered which receive students from all over the UK. The summer school takes place in an affiliated dance school in Jerez, Spain.

Our Questions page may answer some of your queries but don't hesitate to contact us for more information.

Whatever your level and interest, we look forward to welcoming you.

Summer timetable starts on 1st August 2011 with Gemma Cruz.

La Escuela will be presenting a show next year in July 2012. Visit the Events page for more information as it becomes available and some video and printed material from the 2009 show.

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that starting flamenco classes at the Escuela changed my life. At the most basic level, my fitness improved and I made so many new friends. But more importantly, flamenco has given me an outlet to express myself. When I'm tired, it energises me. When I'm down it cheers me up. When I'm happy it helps me vent my excitement. Dancing to live guitar and singing is a real thrill, and I can't imagine my life without flamenco any more."
