Youth Flamenco (Basics & Foundation)

This is the perfect class for students ages 5-12 who have never taken a flamenco class before or those who need a refresher. You don’t need to have any dance experience. If you do have dance experience, it is still recommended to start with the youth level. In this class we dedicate time to establish an introductory foundation in technique that focuses on: floreo (hand movements), braceo (arm movements), zapateado/taconeo (footwork), marcajes (marking steps), compas y palmas (rhythms and hand-clapping), giros (turns) and proper placement of the body, and jaleo (calls of encouragement used in flamenco to cheer one another on).
