A week of flamenco in a Cretan village, for anyone who loves it.
You wake up in a small Cretan village. You dance, you play, you sing, you listen, in the studio and in every moment in between.
Between classes we explore Crete together. In the evenings we gather: sometimes we dance, sometimes we listen, sometimes we just share food, stories and music. Somewhere along the way, flamenco stops being something you study and becomes something you live.
Class. Dance, guitar, cante, percussion — whatever you picked.
The beach, a nap, a walk through the village, or a shaded spot with a guitar.
A long dinner under the trees, a paneyíri in a nearby village, or a jam that goes until someone falls asleep on the cajón.
« I came as a dancer and left wanting to learn cante. That's what this place does. »
« By day three, the cuadro just happened. Nobody planned it. That's never happened to me at any other camp. »
« Yota cooked, we all ate, and then we played until 3am. That dinner is why I'm coming back. »

Palmas y jaleos · Bulerías "Ay que calor"
The camp ends on stage. Your teachers perform a real flamenco tablao: dancers, singers and guitarists sharing the stage, a live dialogue of rhythm and soul.
The tablao is the traditional home of flamenco in Spain: intimate, close, the audience a few steps from the dancers. Two nights, two stages: Chania and the village of Vamos.

Daily sailings. Take a cabin, sleep, and wake up in Crete.
More flights and often cheaper. Easy drive west along the north coast.
Few flights. Only worth it if you are touring eastern Crete first.
If someone from the camp is free when you land, they pick you up. You buy them a drink :-)
Local KTEL buses from Chania stop in Vamos or a village 1–2 km away. Someone from the camp may be able to collect you from there.
We book a local taxi to meet you at arrivals. Prices are per car, so share it and split the fare.
When several people arrive at the same time, we arrange one van for everyone.
After you book your workshops, you'll be added to a WhatsApp group where we coordinate getting to and from Vamos.

Olive groves, Kalyves A stone village you’ll want to live in.
Vamos sits in the hills of Apokoronas, surrounded by olive groves and mountain trails. Around it: more beaches than you can visit in a week, and a thick summer calendar of village paneyíria — the kind where everyone dances until 4am.
Accommodation isn’t included, so you choose how you want to live the week. Typical July prices in and around Vamos:
We match you with other campers in a shared Airbnb. Your own bed or room, a shared kitchen and terrace, and people to walk to class with.
After you book your workshops, we put shared houses together from camp participants and coordinate them in the WhatsApp group.
Book any Airbnb, room or house yourself. Vamos and the villages around it (Gavalochori, Kalyves, Almyrida) have everything from village rooms to villas with a pool.
Anyone who loves flamenco, from complete beginners to professionals. Dancers, guitarists, singers, percussionists, and the simply curious.
No. Complete beginners are welcome: we start from zero, together. All you need is the love and the will to learn.
No. You book your own stay, but we help with recommendations and put people in shared houses if you want company.
Not formally. Most lunches and dinners happen together at local tavernas or shared at the houses — pay your own way. Some evenings are organized group dinners.
Yes. A deposit holds your place; the balance is due closer to the camp.
English, Greek, Spanish — often all three in the same sentence.
Dance shoes if you dance. Your guitar if you play. A skirt or fan if you have one. Comfortable clothes for the heat. Swimwear. An open week.
