Zambra Immersion in Spain!

You can be at any level, really. As long as you’re open to learning, ready to dance, and willing to have fun, you’ll be fine. 

We focus on the social forms of flamenco, the flamenco of the people. Grandmothers and children dance it here in Spain. You can dance it too!

In our classes, you will develop coordination and a sense of rhythm. Most importantly, we'll have tons of fun!

No worries. That is what I am here for!  As my guest, I will translate for you whenever is needed. Plus, I will be giving you Spanish mini-lessons to learn important words and phrases, so you can communicate with your newly-found local friends.

I understand how you feel. The unknown is an exciting adventure, but it can also be scary. You will be pleasantly surprise how fast one makes friends when dancing, singing, and eating together!

I always like to create a personal connection with you before our trip by jump on a zoom call so you can ask me any question and I get to understand your specific needs and desires. 💕  I also like to offer a pre-trip zoom gathering with all the participants o we can get to know each other a bit.

In addition, our first activity is a Welcome Dinner, where everyone will introduce themselves and start bonding. By the end of the second day, after dancing, singing, eating, and laughing together, you will have wonderful new friends from around the world, as well as local Spaniards.

No. The participants in our Flamenco Cultural Immersion  come from different parts of the world. We meet directly at the apartments. You are responsible for booking your own transportation. But upon confirmation of your registration, I'll will provide the exact address along with information on how to get to the apartments.

This Flamenco Cultural Immersion needs a minimum number of participants in order to take place at the stated price. If I need to cancel, I will refund your deposit along with any other payments you have made. Conversely, you may want to pay a trip supplement to continue the trip with fewer participants. 

If I need to cancel for any other unexpected reason, I will refund in full. I recommend that you purchase travel and flight cancellation insurance.

If you decide to cancel, you need to notify me in writing  by email. Your deposit of $1097 ($1897 deposit for both weeks) is non-refundable.

If you cancel at least two months before the start date of the trip, you get a refund of any other payments, minus the processing fees from stripe, the credit card gateway, which doesn't refund its fees to anybody.

If you cancel two months or less before the trip start date, I cannot refund your payments, but your may find another person to take your place or we may apply your payment (less the $1097/$1897 deposit) toward a future Flamenco Cultural Immersion Experience. 

I recommend that you purchase travel and flight cancellation insurance.
