FAQs
What to wear on my first day of class?
It is not necessary to use flamenco gear for day 1.
DAY 1 (when you don't have Flamenco clothing)
Wear any stretchy top and bottom (any dance/sport piece is fine). This allows body lines and posture to be seen.
Use comfortable low heel and closed shoes in case you do not have flamenco ones (The studio has a couple of spare shoes you can borrow for day one if they fit you).
You can wear an ample skirt.
We recommend that you first try a class since Flamenco gear is expensive and we want you to take a conscious decision.
We have arrangements with local and international brands like 'Senovilla' shoes, 'El Agua Flamenco' and @Floracitaby which provide us with all you need to dress up properly for your classes.
