Flamenco One Day Workshops
You know how you always say “I’d love to do that class…”, but somehow when it comes to it, work, children and all manner of things get in the way and you just don’t have the time to commit to those weekly classes?  Well, here’s the solution; monthly one day workshops that have been designed with that in mind, giving you a much needed injection of “me time”!
You don’t need to have any knowledge of Spanish Dance or any other dance form. In this course we start at the beginning covering the principles of flamenco movement and rhythm. This course is ideal for beginners and improvers alike as it allows everyone to work at a pace that suits them.
What can I expect?           

Class One: The technique class covers the principles of flamenco movement: posture, braceo (arm work), floreo (hand work), vueltas (turns), taconeo (footwork) and palmas (hand clapping). It also offers an introduction to the use of castanuelas (castanets), Pericone (fan) and Cordoba (hat) and covers fundamental steps, compass (rhythm phrasing) and styles; building confidence and knowledge.

Class Two: The choreography class offers the opportunity to learn a variety of dances from both the classical and flamenco schools.

Class Three: The Bulerias style is taught as an individual class due to the complex nature of the compass. Participants will be taught short ‘patadas’.
End of Year Performance at the Terry O’Toole Theatre:
There may be an opportunity for you to perform in the annual “artsNK Dance Festival”.   Two evenings of dance celebrating the latest works from the education and community programme in North Kesteven feature local schools, colleges and community dance groups in unique performances of creative dance.  You are not obliged to participate, although it would be helpful if those who do wish to take part could commit to both performances.  Dates to be advised.
