The Instructors of the Workshops
See you at our workshops and weekly classes in June. Welcome to dance with us!
We will open Flama’s studio again on the 1st of June. The schedule for June (June 1–30) has already been published and you can find it on our webpage (under the spring schedule). The schedule for July and August will be published later.
Sign up for the classes in June through our reservation system.
In June, Eve JaMami will come to teach Dancehall classes on Tuesdays, Lotta starts with a new Flow Yoga class and Anna returns to teach salsa, bachata and reggaeton. Matias‘ couple salsa and Pinja‘s couple bachata classes will not continue yet in June due to the corona situation. We will have only solo classes in June. We will continue our couple salsa and bachata courses later so that the participants of the courses can replace all the missed sessions of the spring. We will provide further information about these couple classes as soon as the corona situation calms down. Matias and Pinja will return to Flama either later in the summer or at least in the autumn.
We have reduced the maximum amount of participants for all of our classes and enhanced our dressing facilities so that there will be more space at our studio. We pay special attention to the disinfection and hygiene of the premises. If you have any symptoms of the flu, please do not come to the studio. Besides, please wash your hands always when you arrive at the studio.
The validity of all punch cards and Spring Anytime accesses will be automatically extended with those 2.5 months our studio has been closed (March 13–May 31).
In addition to our weekly classes, we will dance outside in the park next to Turku Castle in our Dance at the Castle events on Sunday evenings. We will provide more information later closer to the summer. You can use our Summer Anytime cards as well as our punch cards to pay for those park classes, so it is worth buying your cards now at our webshop in advance and save.
More information about the summer classes by sending an email to info@flama.fi.
We are so looking forward to dancing with you again at Flama!
PS. We will continue our online classes also after the opening of the studio.
Enjoy the joy of dance in Dance Studio Flama’s online classes whenever and wherever you want!
During our live-streamed online classes, you can comment and pose questions to the instructor. You will have access to your purchased online classes for 48 hours, so you can watch each class also after the live streaming if that time is more suitable for you.
