About this Event

Flamenco meets fiesta at Jamon Jamon Soho. Learn to dance rumbas and bulerías — the steps you need to get up and join in whenever the music starts. No experience needed.

Ever wished you could get up and dance when a rumba or bulería comes on at a party? This is your chance. Join us for a friendly flamenco social where you’ll learn simple, usable steps you can take to any dance floor.

⏰ Doors open at 5:00 PM for a welcome drink. Class starts at 5:30 PM sharp.

What to expect:

• 1.5 hours of flamenco class (beginners welcome — we’ll teach you from scratch) with 10 minute break
• 1.5 hours of social dancing where you can practise, mix, and enjoy the music
• Welcoming, inclusive atmosphere — half our community is Spanish, half international
• Your ticket includes 1 complimentary drink (soft drink, small wine, or sangria)
• The class is taught by Flamenco con Maika, a dance school and project led by Maika Jiménez Blanco, an instructor with more than 18 years of international experience.

What you’ll learn:

• Easy rumba steps to bring to the dance floor
• An introduction to bulerías rhythm and approachable ways to join in
• Arm movements, clapping and coordination to bring your dancing to life
• Ways to combine the steps and make them your own

Why come? If you’ve ever been at a Spanish gathering and wanted to jump in when the rumbas start, this is where you learn how. Come dance, meet people who love Spanish culture, and maybe stay for dinner after (our Spanish kitchen is upstairs!).

No partner needed. We rotate during the class so everyone gets to dance.
