Don Quijote: Marbella
Taking flamenco classes in Spain is an ideal way to compliment your Spanish course. Flamenco is an internationally recognized art form that was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010.
Originating in Andalusia, flamenco origins can be traced back to the fusion of various musical styles by the gypsies who have propelled the preservation and dissemination of flamenco around the world.
The flamenco course in Spain will introduce students to the song, dance and music that make up this artistic expression. Discover the passion and wide range of emotions that are expressed by the performer through complex techniques of foot stomping and hand clapping.
The flamenco course is taught at an academy by professional flamenco dance teachers who will adapt to your dance level whether you have studied flamenco in the past or not. The content is flexible and can be adapted to students' schedules and language level.
don Quijote offers salsa dancing classes as an extracurricular course so that our students can embrace one of the most famous dances in the world and immerse themselves in the local rhythm.
Originating from a fusion of Cuban and Caribbean styles, over time salsa has incorporated African percussion, American jazz, the Spanish guitar and other Latin American influences. The result is a dynamic, spicy, energetic and intense music that can also be slow, sensual and romantic. Salsa is normally danced with a partner but can also be danced alone.
The term “salsa” is an umbrella term used to describe many different genres of salsa including mambo, guaracha, son montuno, bolero and chachachá from Cuba as well as many non-Cuban beats such as bomba, plena, merengue and cumbia. Salsa is is highly known throughout the world, especially in Latin America and the United States. It has also become widely popular in countries like Germany, Israel, Spain, Japan, Portugal, France, Italy, and many more.
The salsa course will be taught by a professional dance teacher and will adapt to the students’ dance and Spanish levels. Please note that salsa dance lessons are often given in the late evening and soft-soled comfortable shoes are required.

Classes and teachers were great! I have really improved my Spanish!
The housing was not perfect, but fine (2 bathrooms for 15 people is not enough).
I really enjoyed my time with Don Quijote. The Enforex School was a really good choice and every single morning I looked forward to school. The atmosphere at school was really relaxed and every single teacher I had was really helpful and nice. They all had different teaching techniques which was also really nice because it never got boring there. Unfortunately, the classes were sometimes really big due to the summer season and therefore the language levels of the students in one class were sometimes really different.
