2.- Where is the school located?
Our school is in C/ Peral, 49 between Alameda and la Macarena, near the centre and still in the historical area.

During Winter the temperature is around 10º with some occasional showers. In Spring the temperature is around 15-20º with more sun, but with the risk of showers. In Summer the temperature rises to 30-40º and dry weather. In autumm the temperature returns to 15-20º and wet weather on occasions. You can visit www.inm.es to see weather predictions.

6.- What is the normal age of students?
Most of them are between 20 and 40 years old although there is no age limit. In case you are younger than 18 years old, you will need a permission from your parents.
7.- Are excursions organised?
We can give you information about trips and excursions in the office. There is an agency we work with that organises trips for weekends.
8.- When does the school close?
Taller Flamenco is teaching all over the year. We just close the school three days: New Years Day, Holy Friday + Christmas Day. Prices remain the same in these cases.
9.- What will my room address and class schedule be?
Both timetables and address are confirmed two weeks before your arrival, once the booking is fully formalised. Please, in your travel, do not forget to bring with you:
- Address of your room and phone numbers of the landlady/lord and also the handy number of the person who will pick you up at the airport in case you order this service.
- Address and phone number of Taller Flamenco.
10.- Do you organise cultural activities?
We will give you a cultural programme at your arrival in the school or every Monday of your stay. You get discounts in some flamenco venues by using a Taller Flamenco student card.
We also arrange a students meeting every Monday.
11.- Where can I buy shoes, skirts... ?
We will give you a list of flamenco shops. In some of them you get discounts with your Taller Flamenco students card.
12.- Do you have Internet access for the students?
Yes, we have a little library where you can find books, videos, magazines and use the computer.
13.- How can I get a VISA?
In order for you to get your visa, Taller Flamenco provides a Certificate of Admission that would be sent by post mail or fax.
1.- You must send us the application form with the course or courses you want to take, and also the dates for these courses. Take into account that the certificate only covers the period in which you will be studying in our school.
2.- The deposit for such reservation must be paid (30 euros per course and 30 per accommodation).
Once the reservation is completely formalised, you will receive the certificate signed by Taller Flamenco School administrator.
14.- Can I apply for a grant?
The school does not have any type of funding and cannot therefore offer grants to students. However, there might be some type of financial aid in your own country available. Taller Flamenco will help you to get it through a letter of invitation.
15.- Could you send me some brochures?
We do not usually send printed information by post (just in case the person does not have a fax number or e-mail address). Our via of information is the internet (it is more ecological, updated and fast) and e-mails. We respond quickly to your questions personally and individually.
16.- Do I need to apply in advance?
It is very important to apply, at least, two weeks before the courses start. If you want to apply, we need to receive your application form and the deposit which corresponds to your booking. Once your booking is formalized and two weeks before your arrival, you will receive your timetable and address.
In case that you want to apply later than that, Taller Flamenco will always try to book your courses and lodging but take into account that some courses such as Estaciones Flamencas are highly demanded and in some periods of the year we have lots of visits here in Seville. (Feria de Abril, Semana Santa, Bienal de Flamenco).
17.- What time are the classes?
Depending on the levels. Timetables are confirmed two weeks before your arrival once the booking is fully formalised.
18.- How many students are there in each group?
The maximum number of students in a class is seven.
19.- Can I combine any course?
You can combine the different Regular Courses you want. Notice that we also have Especial Courses (combinations with especial prices in a particular date). Click here to see this information.
20.- Can I extend my course once my original enrolment period has finished?
Yes, for the courses there will be no problems but for the accommodation it may be. It is therefore a good idea to let us know as soon as possible.
21.- Can I change levels if I am in the wrong class?
Yes. If you and your teacher think that you are not in the right level, you could change your level. We have all levels in Taller Flamenco.
22.- Do I get a certificate?
Once you finish your course, you will be given a certificate.
23.- Can I book private classes?
Yes, we have individual courses. Prices depend on the amount of hours and kind of course.
24.- What should I wear at my first flamenco lesson?
You need a pair of flamenco shoes or at least shoes with a thick, stable heel as well as some comfortable clothes which allow you any kind of movement. Flamenco shoes are more important than flamenco skirt.
25.- Can I take a guitar course with accompaniment of flamenco singer or dancer?
The guitar courses in Taller Flamenco are one-to-one (student and guitar teacher). In case you are very interested in accompaniment we could arrange your lessons but there is an important condition: you must be an advanced level student. The price may depend on the amount of lessons and also on what we negotiate with the artists.
26.- Do the teachers speak English?
Most of them do not speak English properly, maybe a few words, but our huge experience has confirmed that English is not important to learn flamenco (flamenco is in fact the universal language ;)...our teachers have the strategies to teach, and in case you need some translation, the office staff will help you.
27.- How does the accommodation work?
We provide a single or double room in shared flats. ( we also have some apartments and prices may vary).
You will use the common areas such as the bathroom, kitchen, sitting-room, terrace...These prices do not include the meals.
You don't need to bring bed linen, however we recommend you to bring your own bath towels.
28.- What does accommodation in a double room mean?
This type of accommodation is a double room with twin beds or a big bed which you share with someone who comes with you.
29.- Where is the accommodation?
Our accommodations are very close to the school. We will send you an attached map to show you the location of the school and your room.
30.- Is there heating or air-conditioned in the flats?
Yes, all the flats have some type: gas heaters, electric radiators, central heating, fans, etc.
31.- How does the arrival and the key pick-up work?
It is very important to know your arrival time, so that somebody could await you in the shared flat. This person (the landlady/lord or owner of the flat) will show you your room and explain all details regarding the flat and how to get to the school. You will be given your set of keys.
32.- Can I pay with credit card?
We do not accept credit card by the moment. You can pay the deposit by bank transfer, cheque, international money order or cash.
The rest will be paid cash (preferably) at Taller Flamenco office.

33.- How much do I have to pay if I cancel?

34.- Is there a deadline for enrolment?
No, there is no deadline, but the later you enrol, the greater the risk of there not being any places available on the course you want to do, particularly in the high season. We prefer you to formalise your booking one month earlier.
