About Our Beginner Courses & Missed Classes

Our beginner flamenco courses are progressive and carefully structured — each class builds on the last, and the pace adapts to the group’s progress.
To get the most from your learning and to keep the group moving together, we ask students to register for the full 12-week course.
Can’t make every class? Don’t worry — we include plenty of in-class repetition, and not every week introduces new material. You’ll also receive video recordings to review or catch up at home.

We understand that adult learners sometimes have busy schedules — and that winter in Nova Scotia can bring surprises! We have scheduled a make-up/storm date already.

If you know in advance you’ll miss a few classes, select “Pro-Rated Fee Request” during registration. (A minimum of 8 classes is required to join.) Students who miss classes will also receive short recap videos of any new material taught while away.

🪶 Level & Progress

Everyone joins for different reasons, schedules, and motivations. Some students are exploring flamenco for the first time, while others are deepening their foundations. Remember — some steps will come easily, others will take time.

The class is for you — both individually and as a group. The teacher adjusts the pace based on your feedback.

Tips for a rewarding experience:

• Need more repetition or clarification? Ask — others probably feel the same!
• Try not to miss classes; if you do, review the recording before your next session.
• Repetition builds muscle memory — be patient with yourself.
• Feeling under-challenged or overwhelmed? Speak with your teacher. You can switch levels or receive a refund before the third week of the course (see our Terms & Conditions).
