About

The Workshop

In dance classes, choreography and technique will be taught.This technique class examines the placement and execution of correct castanet work. Exercises will be given to develop articulation, coordination, speed, and musicality. Castanets will be available for purchase. Technique classes provide the student with skills necessary to learn choreography. 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. Workshops consist of six (6) hours of instruction over the course of seven (7) days, June 22-28. Instructors generally do not teach on the day of their scheduled performance.
