Groupings
The Flamenco program starts at age five. We start
with this age because at this stage children have
the attention span needed to participate fully
in a 45 minutes to an hour lesson.We offer classes to the following groups:
Program
Welcome to the
Spanish
All
Year
“Flamenco” program, where you can learn one of the most exciting
dances in the world, in Spanish!
Flamenco I (Ages 5-8)
This program will be introduced to the children using beautiful
props and styles of flamenco: castanets, fans, skirts, movements of
arms and hands, and the vibrant footwork. Our main purpose is to
develop the rhythm and coordination skills using the music, the
palms and the footwork
Flamenco II (Ages 9-12)
This second approach will focus on the most popular rhythms and
styles of dance within flamenco. The children will learn to
coordinate dancing, singing and the playing of the palms and to
identify the musical structure of they own dances.
Flamenco Beginners (Ages 15 & up)
Basic technique: arms, footwork, hands and skirt movements. We will
focus on posture and attitude of the body to express the most
popular rhythms of flamenco like Sevillanas, Rumbas and Tangos.
Flamenco Advance (Ages 15 & up)
In this class will work on the structure of each flamenco rhythm
using the technique learned in the prior levels. The students should
be able to coordinate complicated footwork with the movement of the
skirt and the hands and will have the experience of dancing with a
live guitar.
