Essential Flamenco Madrid, Flamenco Show in Madrid

Excellent experience!! Very intimate setting, large glass of delicious sangria. The whole experience was enhanced by the explanation at the beginning of the presentation! Performers were top notch! Highly recommended!

So much fun. The performers were excellent and the sangria was delicious. It’s a small, intimate space, which I loved. The bad part of that was it was pretty tight, we felt squished into our chairs. But we were so close to the dancers. The male dancer seemed new, he was not as good and acted nervous. The women were amazing.

This was a decent performance. We did see another flamenco show in Madrid and we're more impressed with the other than this one though. We really enjoyed the main girl dancer with the black dress. The other performers were okay, but she was the stand out. I think the stage was a little small and limiting for their performances. Maybe there were too many people on stage? Also, the man and woman didn't dance together, which they did at the other show we went to. It was a cute and local theater, and they did give the complimentary drink, which was nice. And it was nice to hear about some of the history at the beginning.

Wow! The music and dancing at essential flamenco was thrilling. More than seeing or hearing this art, we could feel it in our bodies and souls. The dancers were an arms length away in a small brick cellar, though the cry of the singer transported us to another place and time. We were moved and made to feel alive. We loved it! (It was a very small space - and we felt a little crowded in, but so worth it!)

Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent intimate seating. Not a bad seat in the house. Fabulous performances! No food served, which I prefer. I’d rather eat in one of the many restaurants after the show than be forced into an overpriced and likely so-so meal. High recommended!

Amazing show! Bought tickets through Fever and got 2 free drinks per ticket. You can bring your drink down to watch the show, but make sure you arrive early so you have enough time to drink and get a good seat before the show starts. Would highly recommend!

An amazing evening. The venue is very intimate, only three rows of chairs and then the stage. It was fascinating to hear the history of flamenco in Spain (a short talk before the performance). The atmosphere was incredible as were the performers. Cannot recommend this highly enough.

I was totally moved by their production on 10/05/23. I watched another flamenco the following night to make a comparison and that one also described themselves as small crowd and intimate but it was 3x bigger. It was the Essential Flamenco that provided a real initimate performance. There was a brief history prior to the show which always helps. Small crowd, the sound was pure from underground, or how they described it, vaulted brick cellar. It’s true, no loud speakers/amplification. It felt personal and exclusive. The male performers also dressed effortlessly smart. No people eating, whispering, waiters serving drinks throughout the show, which the other flamenco had. The experience was just completely different. Now i understand when they say authentic like how it was 100years ago. Just flamenco! I am back in Madrid in July with my husband and I will take him to the Essential Flamenco ONLY for a true authentic experience. Thank you so much!

A brilliant Flamenco experience in a wonderful underground cave theatre. We booked via Airbnb. When you book the experience you're greeted with a drink, then taken downstairs to your seats. You are treated to a variety of performances over a 90 minute show. Firstly the history of Flamenco is explained to you. Really interesting. Then the show begins with male and female dancers and singers, accompanied by Cajon and Spanish Guitar playing. You are allowed to take photos, and we got front row seats so I took a few on my phone that capture the emotion and movement. You get some solos from the musicians as part of the show. I'd highly recommend this show as it really conveys the emotion of the art of Flamenco.

I've never seen live Flamenco before, so this was the perfect place to have an introduction. The staff gives a brief history of Flamenco (with a map!), which goes very quickly. Then, the performance begins. It is about an hour of the actual performance. The room seats probably 40 people and there's not really a bad seat. The entertainers are all very good, from what I could tell being a novice. They all preform together and separately as well. It was so good that we will probably go here again when we're next in Madrid.

Great performance, and very intimate setting. Not a bad seat in the house. Definitely recommend checking out this show and venue. The venue alone is great and unique. Drink included with the performance, and no attempt (or even ability) to upsell you on dinner. Plenty of great dinner options around here to try instead. Also, good explanation before the show on Flamenco history in both Spanish and English (speaker was very fluent in both).

My husband and I visited in February 2023. This was a great introduction to Flamenco. Upon arrival, guests are invited to enjoy an included beverage in a pretty sitting room. When they were ready to start, everyone was ushered downstairs to an intimate performance space. I don't think there are any bad seats in the house, but we sat in the front row because I'm short and I wanted to be able to watch the dancers' feet. The performance includes a short introduction to the history of Flamenco (really interesting!) that was conducted in English and Spanish. The performers were really great. There were about 7 unique acts that showcased different aspects of Flamenco. I highly recommend this experience!

While on our honeymoon, my wife did research on some top things to do in Madrid. Flamenco was near the top of every recommendation online. We booked tickets in advance. For roughly $35 USD it includes a ticket for a 1 hr show and a Sangria(or soda/water if you don’t drink). It had 3 dancers, a guitarist, and a vocalist. Roughly 6-7 acts. All amazing and even a brief Flamenco history to get you started. I’d highly recommend.

It is a beautiful thing when you discover, in Madrid, a smaller flamenco venue that is pure quality. Incredible artists performing, excellent hospitality at the bar, a truly authentic experience. I adored the performance here. Having watched flamenco all across Andalucía as well as Madrid (as an expat who lives here), this is a wonderful discovery! I’ll be back. Muchísimas gracias por una experiencia fenomenal.

Totally enjoyed the intimate feeling of this show. Small space downstairs where the show takes place. Fantastic performers and the bartender and host upstairs are welcoming. Appreciated that each person and musician has their moment throughout the show.

One of the most amazing performances. Great talented performers and amazing hosts and great drink. Biggest glass of jack and coke I'd ever had lol. Must see.

Amazing! We enjoyed everything about this Flamenco Show. After experiencing Flamenco Dancing for the first time in Valencia, 🇪🇸 Spain, we decided to try a show here in Madrid. This venue is very intimate with "No bad seats". The musicians and dancers were very talented and the show was so very entertaining. Everyone at the show was friendly and welcoming. It was an enchanting evening to be sure! If you are in Madrid, check out this show!
