5.00Excellent experience! We took the class as a family, and it was an enjoyable and super fun experience! Eva is able to share fascinating information about flamenco and castanets, even in a short amount of time. It’s a pity it went by so quickly! I highly recommend it!

5.00I loved it! Eva is lovely, very knowledgeable and very passionate about flamenco and playing the castanets. She was very kind to do the class just for me and she was very encouraging throughout. I learned a lot more than I was expecting and would highly recommend this class as a fun and educational way to spend an hour in the city.

5.00I had an amazing class with Eva! It was a fantastic first introduction to castañuelas (castanets). Eva is patient, kind, and incredibly generous with her teaching. She creates a warm, welcoming environment and can teach in multiple languages, which makes the class even more accessible and comfortable. I enjoyed the class so much that I immediately asked to continue learning with her online—and I’ve been taking lessons ever since! Highly recommend taking this class! :)
Excellent, fun experience.
