Halloween Sevillanas Dance Class & Social Soho | Sat 31 October

Sevillanas is a traditional partnered folk dance from Andalusia. You'll see it at every Andalusian FIESTA, feria, and local celebration. If you're Spanish and missing home, or you've always wanted to learn authentic Spanish dance, this is your space — this time with a Halloween twist! 🎃

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

What to expect:

• 1.5 hours of sevillanas 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.

🎃 Halloween Special:

• Costumes encouraged (but not required!)
• Prize for the best costume

Why come? If you've ever been to an Andalusian feria, or local fiesta, you know sevillanas is where the real fun starts. We're bringing that energy to London — Halloween style. Come dance, meet people who love Spanish culture, and maybe stay for dinner after (our Spanish kitchen is upstairs!).

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

• The social hour is relaxed — no pressure, just practice and fun
• Sevillanas is danced in pairs but you don't need to bring a partner
• All levels welcome — most attendees are beginners or intermediate
