Learning Flamenco means entering a language that is passed from person to person, from body to body, from emotion to emotion.
Learning Flamenco is not about memorising steps or repeating chords.
That is why the Flamenco courses in Málaga taught at KELIPÉ do not come from a conventional academy, but from the real experience of artists who live Flamenco both on and off the stage. Here, no decorative style or sugar-coated version of the art is taught. Here, students are guided to find their own place within Flamenco.
Whether it is Flamenco dance or guitar, every class is a space for learning, but also for listening, respect and truth.
Flamenco dance: the body as language
Flamenco dance does not begin in the feet.
It begins much earlier: in posture, in breathing, in the way silence is inhabited.
At KELIPÉ, Flamenco dance classes are taught by Susana La Yedra and Gabriela La Negri, two artists with a deep professional background in Flamenco and a very clear approach to teaching: working from each student’s real body, not from an imposed mould.
It does not matter whether you have never danced Flamenco before or if you have been practising it for years. The classes adapt to the level, rhythm and moment of each person.
In the classes, the following is developed:
- Body technique and footwork
- Alignment, strength and balance
- Expression, character and stage presence
- Understanding of rhythm and song
- Improvisation and naturalness
Because Flamenco dance is not a rigid choreography. It is a constant dialogue between body, music and emotion.
Flamenco guitar: learning to listen before playing
Flamenco guitar plays a fundamental role within the art. The Flamenco guitar courses at KELIPÉ are taught by Azukita, professional guitarist and composer, whose teaching approach is based on a deep understanding of Flamenco, not just technical skill.
This is not only about learning musical phrases. Students learn to listen to rhythm, to understand the language of the singing, to support the dance and to find their own sound.
Guitar classes focus on:
- Technique and sound quality
- Rhythm and Flamenco timing
- Accompaniment for singing and dance
- Structures of traditional Flamenco
- Development of musical identity
The guitar is learned from the inside out, step by step, without rushing but with intention.
In-person and online classes: Flamenco without borders
One of the key values of KELIPÉ’s Flamenco courses in Málaga is flexibility. Learning adapts to the real lives of students, not the other way around.
That is why classes can be taken:
- In person, in Málaga
- Online, for students anywhere in the world
The online format maintains closeness and personalised attention. It is not a generic recorded lesson: it is a real meeting between artist and student, where correction, guidance and support are constant.
This allows people who live outside Málaga, or who cannot travel regularly, to continue learning Flamenco with rigour and depth.
Group or private classes: every path is different
Not everyone learns in the same way. At KELIPÉ, this is respected.
That is why we offer:
- Group classes, where learning is enriched through shared energy
- Private classes, fully personalised
Group classes create community, motivation and collective listening. They are dynamic, alive and deeply enriching.
Private classes allow for more intensive work, specific goals and adaptation to very individual rhythms.
Both options start from the same place: absolute respect for the student’s process.
For locals, residents and people from all over the world
KELIPÉ’s Flamenco courses in Málaga are open to everyone.
To local people who want serious, rigorous training.
To international residents who wish to connect with the culture from the inside.
And to students from around the world who are looking to learn authentic Flamenco, even at a distance.
Flamenco does not understand nationalities. It understands truth, commitment and listening.
Teaching from the stage, not from theory
One of KELIPÉ’s greatest differences is that those who teach Flamenco here live it every day on stage.
Susana La Yedra, Gabriela La Negri and Azukita are not only teachers. They are active artists. They share the stage, creative processes and real professional experience. And this is felt in every class.
Students do not learn abstract theory. They learn from living Flamenco. From what works, from what is felt, from what is transmitted.
There is direct, close and honest involvement with every person who comes to train.
Much more than learning: living Flamenco
Anyone who joins a course at KELIPÉ does not just learn dance or guitar. They enter a space where Flamenco is breathed, cared for and respected.
Here, it is understood that:
- Mistakes are part of learning
- Emotion cannot be forced
- Flamenco is not imitated, it is discovered
Each class is another step towards an authentic relationship with the art.

Because Flamenco is not learned only with the feet or the hands.
It is learned when someone transmits it to you from truth.
And that is what happens at KELIPÉ
