Spanish & Dance

Spanish and Latin American dancing is expressive, fun, energetic and often muy caliente (sensual)! It forms an important part of cultural expression in the "Latin" world and is a great way to meet local people and practise the Spanish learned in class.

AIL Madrid’s Spanish course with Dance consists of the following three components:
  • Spanish language course (20 classes per week)
  • Spanish and Latin American dance (8 classes per week) 
  • Dance theory (2 classes per week)
