Flamenco is a dance for everyone—regardless of age, shape, size, gender, or experience level. When you step into the world of flamenco, you’re not just learning a dance; you’re embarking on a transformative journey that nurtures emotional expression, relieves stress, enhances physical health, ignites creativity, and boosts confidence. Classes with Karina are not only rewarding but also fun and welcoming, making flamenco an enjoyable experience for all.
Flamenco combines elegant, flowing body movements with powerful, rhythmic footwork, offering a full-body workout that improves posture, strengthens your core, and enhances overall fitness. As you focus on the intricate steps and rhythms, flamenco becomes an immersive experience—allowing you to let go of stress and tension. The percussive footwork also stimulates brain function, keeping your mind sharp and engaged.
The classes are often accompanied by live guitar, bringing the music to life in every session. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced dancer, the class is a welcoming space for everyone to grow, learn, and dance.
Flamenco is more than movement—it’s an expression of emotion, strength, and storytelling. Rooted in Andalusian culture and shaped by diverse influences, flamenco carries the depth of human experience in its rhythms and movements.
This dance form is not just about technique but about feeling, connection, and personal expression. Each dancer brings their own story to life, making every performance unique. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, flamenco allows you to step into its rich tradition and discover a powerful way to express yourself.
Dancing flamenco is about embracing confidence, rhythm, and the joy of movement. It’s not just something you learn—it’s something you begin to live.
Beyond the dance itself, you’ll be introduced to the rich cultural heritage of flamenco, with opportunities to connect through social events and performances throughout the year. Our supportive and friendly community welcomes you, helping you build confidence and a sense of belonging.
Classes run weekly, term-time in Exeter.
Classes in Exeter & Mid Devon
The weekly classes are held in a spacious, fully mirrored studio with a sprung floor at the Exeter Phoenix Arts Centre. You’ll feel comfortable and inspired in this supportive environment as you explore Flamenco. There’s also a lovely cafe bar for pre/post class drinks with fellow students!
Classes are held at the Phoenix Arts Centre, Gandy Street, Exeter EX4 3LS.
While weekly classes provide the foundation for your Flamenco journey, there are workshops for those who want to deepen their practice or try something new. These one-off sessions are designed to complement your regular training and don’t require a weekly commitment to keep up.
Workshops are regularly held in Exeter, and can also be arranged across the South West and beyond. There are ongoing workshops in Malvern, Worcestershire, approximately every 6 weeks. For information on upcoming workshops, be sure to check the social media pages or visit our Contact Us link.

Some people prefer to learn on a one-to-one basis, where the focus is entirely on them and their individual learning. Private sessions with Karina provide the perfect opportunity to work at your own pace, whether you’re refining techniques, building confidence, or simply enjoying the personal attention that comes with a tailored lesson.
Some dancers choose occasional one-to-one sessions to complement their classes, while others enjoy the consistency of regular private lessons. These sessions are also ideal for creating bespoke choreography for performances, shows, or even special occasions like weddings.
Karina’s warm and approachable teaching style ensures that every session is relaxed, engaging, and focused on your specific goals, helping you get the most out of your session.
1-to-1 is also available via Zoom calls.
Can’t make it to a class in person? No problem! All of the classes are streamed live via Zoom and recorded for later viewing, so you can practice from anywhere, anytime.
1-to-1 classes can also be arranged online.
