About

The Workshop

In dance classes, choreography and technique will be taught. Workshop choreographies are set to various palos (song forms and rhythms). Choreographies are the original work of the artists/teachers, and students learn flamenco through the experience and unique abilities that these master artists/teachers bring to their work.

Originally the Mantón de Manila was an article women used in their daily life. The Mantón de Manila is used commonly as a complemento (prop) in flamenco dance. The use of the mantón brings a feminine and elegant feel to the dance, it is also a visual element that can de used to accentuate body line and movement. The use of the mantón requires rigorous technique that adds to a dancer’s strength and artistry.

 Workshops consist of six (6) hours of instruction over the course of seven (6) days, June 21-27. Instructors generally do not teach on the day of their scheduled performance. Paula Comitre will not teach on June 23.
