CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Flamenco Fundamentals & Beginner Technique: If you’re new to flamenco, or have less than 1 year experience, this class is for you. It focuses on arm, hand, footwork technique as well as turns. This class is also appropriate for more advanced dancers that are looking to drill technique exercises and revisit proper posture relating to flamenco.

Beginner/Intermediate Technique and Choreography: A minimum of 1 year of flamenco study or teacher’s permission is necessary to take this class.

Intermediate/Advanced Technique and Choreography: A minimum of 2 and a half to 3 years of flamenco study is necessary for this class.

Sevillanas: A folk dance typically danced in pairs, Sevillanas involves specific choreography that incorporates many of the characteristics used in flamenco such as coordination of upper and lower body within a strict rhythmic structure.

Cante and Palmas: Open to dancers, singers and musicians, this class will focus on coordinating singing with palmas and will be accompanied by live flamenco guitar. It will also explore the relationship of the “cante” to the “baile” to better understand choreography structure. No previous experience is necessary!
