How to choose a good school without getting ripped off
The way in which you come to dance and the time that it takes you, depends on the school that you choose. It is important to look properly and not to hurry, if you want to avoid losing time, money or, even worse, your enthusiasm.
First of all, you need to have a clear idea of what is available on the market. Some dance schools whose only goal is to earn money, or those which are for professional artists, unnecessarily extend the time required for learning certain palos (forms), or they charge separately for each of them, or they promise to grant you a "university" degree… In schools that are less professional, the opposite happens; they teach you how to dance all of the palos in a very short time, which is too short. Beware, if you don't want to look like a scarecrow! They may well be teaching you simple choreographies that have nothing or very little to do with flamenco, and it is harder to correct a poor technique that has become a habit than to start from scratch.
The best thing to do is to look for something in between the two. A professional school that will not fleece you. How can you find it? In its first course, at the very least, arm technique, foot technique and the technique for spinning must be taught, as well as the whole range of the sevillanas. If they offer you less than this, they will be trying to rip you off. If they offer you more, it may be fine, but if they offer you a lot more, run away, they're amateurs.
