Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Discover the vibrant art of the flamenco, which personifies the fiery passion, artistry and culture unique to the area. Originating during the 16th century, this folk dance from southern Spain's Andalusia region also encompasses music and song. A well-established professional dancer will lead you step-by-step, no previous knowledge required. Upon arrival at the Gibraltar-Spain border, you'll embark on a short walk to the city of La Linea and the dance studio inside "Casa de la Cultura" (House of Culture). After donning the appropriate attire, you'll learn different dance steps, rhythmic patterns, and skirt and arm movements. Then, when you've mastered each step you'll be rewarded with champagne! After your exhilarating lesson, you'll head back to your ship. If time allows, an optional drop off at Grand Casemates Gate (access to Main Street shopping) will be offered, however you are responsible to make your way back to the ship.
