Course Overview

If you are interested in developing your flamenco technique and co-ordination outside of learning choreography, this course is for you. Through exercises in different flamenco styles, you will focus on technique and co-ordination exercises, and improve your understanding of the flamenco rhythms.

You will integrate the use of flamenco arms while carrying out footwork sequences, as well as using your arms and hands at a different speed to your footwork. You will also improve the use of your arms and skirts with different types of turns.

Whilst on the course you will cover all the basic techniques of at least one prop used in flamenco: skirt, waistcoat, fan, hat, shawl, baston, castanets.
