Flamenco by Candlelight – Fuego & El Amor Brujo
with Maika Jimenez Blanco
Experience the magic and mystery of flamenco under the gentle glow of candlelight. Inspired by Antonio Gades’ legendary ballet Fuego, itself a tribute to El Amor Brujo by Manuel de Falla, this unique workshop invites dancers to explore the expressive power of flamenco through light, shadow and emotion.
Led by Maika Jiménez Blanco, flamenco teacher and founder of Flamenco with Maika, participants will discover the connection between movement, rhythm and inner fire. The class will take place in a softly lit studio filled with candlelight, creating an atmosphere of calm intensity and artistic focus.
Through carefully guided exercises, participants will learn steps and short sequences inspired by the themes of El Amor Brujo such as love, memory, fire and transformation, and experience how flamenco becomes almost ritualistic in the flicker of light.
This workshop celebrates the artistic legacy of Antonio Gades and draws on Maika’s training from the Gades Immersive Course directed by Stella Arauzo, Artistic Director of the Antonio Gades Foundation.
Open to all levels, this is a rare opportunity to dance, connect and feel the duende of flamenco in an unforgettable candlelit setting.
What to wear and bring
- Please arrive wearing flamenco shoes. If you do not have them, you can wear comfortable shoes with a small heel, but ballroom shoes and barefoot dancing are not allowed for safety reasons.
- Choose clothing that allows free movement, such as a fitted top, skirt or trousers appropriate for flamenco.
- Colours of red, orange and black are encouraged to reflect the fire and passion of Fuego.
- Hair should be tied back or styled so the face is visible. Small flamenco accessories such as flowers, combs or shawls are welcome.

Sensual Heels by Candlelight with Jenny Stone
Sensual Jazz by Candlelight with Jenny Stone
A dance class blending sensuality, fluidity, and technique, inspired by jazz and the heels universe… without heels. Sensual Jazz is a pedagogical approach to Jenny’s style. Her heels choreographies are strongly influenced by jazz, and this class allows dancers to explore the technical foundations on flat feet, in order to better understand movement and improve overall quality.
Why barefoot?
Working without heels allows you to:
- build strong technical foundations (grounding, weight transfers, alignment)
- develop fluidity and lightness in movement
- improve musicality and transitions
- refine body awareness and control
It’s an excellent complement to heels training, and also a perfect entry point to discover the style.
Who is this class for?
- Dancers already training with Jenny who want to deepen her technique and fundamentals
- Dancers who want to explore a sensual class without heels
- Improver level dancers (basic foundations required, comfortable learning simple choreographies)
What you will work on:
- jazz technique applied to sensual movement
- fluidity, isolations, coordination
- movement quality and expression
- progressive, pedagogical choreographies
A class designed to better understand your body, refine your style, and move with more freedom.
Arrive a few minutes early to settle in before the class starts. Late-comers will not be admitted.
