Learn to dance and enjoy yourself along the way.
LINDY HOP
The social dance par excellence of swing music. Partnered, energetic, improvised and incredibly fun.
You learn to dance with another person, listen to the music and make every dance different.
SEE BEGINNER GROUPS →
SOLO JAZZ
Jazz danced individually. Rhythm, movement, improvisation and the freedom to play with the music.
You dance without a partner, but never alone: you share music, energy and movement with the whole group.
SEE BEGINNER GROUPS →
BALBOA
A partner dance born to swing, especially when the music speeds up.
Fast, precise, closely connected and perfect when space is tight.
NO ACTIVE BEGINNER GROUP
TAP
Dance the music and become part of it.
Rhythm, coordination and improvisation: you make the beat too.
NO ACTIVE BEGINNER GROUPBLUES
Dances born around blues music, with a different way of relating to rhythm and your partner.
Less speed does not mean less intensity.

SPIRIT · SINCE 2008
IT ALL STARTED
WITH A FEW SHOTS.
Spirit began almost as a joke. Late one night in a bar, Royal Crown Revue—the band behind the soundtrack to The Mask—was playing.
READ THE FULL STORY
We were dancing and a woman called Laura was hanging around. I honestly thought she was waiting to ask the drummer for an autograph, but she came over and said she wanted to learn to dance the way we did.
Mostly as a joke, because it was not in my plans, I wrote my number on a napkin and told her to call me when she had ten couples. I was certain it would never happen.
Two days later she called to say she had them. It seemed impossible, but I had made a promise, so I said we would go ahead.
Her boyfriend, Nacho, and a group of industrial-engineering friends had a cultural association in Cabanyal. Together with a group of women, mostly audiovisual students, they formed a class in no time: they were already friends interested in unusual cultural activities.
If we were going to begin, I decided we would take it seriously. I spoke to the University of Valencia and another cultural association, Ca Revolta, and we began teaching in all three places.
From there we moved to a theatre school on Calle Blanquerías, which eventually became Spirit. Then to another school in Ruzafa. And from there to our current home.
18 YEARS. AND THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
