We usually rehearse in Hackney Central or Hackney Wick, in East London. Please contact us for more details.
Do I need a lot of experience?
No. We're looking for people who have danced before to some extent, but you don't have to have a lot of experience. If you've danced at school, that's fine.
I'm a beginner. Can I join?
Unfortunately we're not set up to teach people who are knew to Mexican folklore dancing. We hope to start a "Beginners" group at some point in the future.
Do I need any equipment?
No, please wear comfortable shoes and clothing for a dance/exercise session.
If you enjoy dancing a lot and want to eventually perform with us, for women you can buy folklore dance shoes. You can also get a rehearsal skirt ("falda de ensayo"). For men, you could also get folklore boots ("botines").
How much does it cost?
It's free to join the group. We only ask everyone to help pay for the rehearsal space. It's between £13-£16 per session.
Where do you rehearse?
In Hackney Central or Hackney Wick, East London.
How long are the rehearsals?
Rehearsals last 3 hours, and that includes breaks, warm up and cool down.
