Wednesday through Friday

"Estilo de Mujer" - Hips & Hands, now add Torso!

Due to popular request from the July session, "Estilo de Mujer" will be given again and introduce more hip and floreo technique, and add upper body torso lines!  This intensive 3 day course is designed to introduce style for women. Flamenco is a sensuous dance form that is very attractive to women.  It is empowering and emotional, but how do we express that through our bodies in our dance?  This course will analyse posture, the use of hips, upper body, arms and floreo.   Hip action in flamenco is quite unique from other dance forms, as hips move as a consequence of pressing into the floor.  Therefore, we explore hip movement through a series of marking exercises to Tientos.  We will also integrate upper body, arms and floreo (hand/finger movement).  There are many styles in flamenco and we will explore traditional versus contemporary movement.  There will be very little emphasis on footwork in this course, therefore it is an open level technica class.
