Beginning Flamenco Dance

This class will introduce flamenco fundamentals for dance: braceo - the movement of the upper body and arms; zapateado - footwork; palmas - rhythmic hand clapping; structure - the way to sequence movements to communicate with your live musicians.  Live guitar and singing accompany your class as you learn this uniquely Spanish artform in a supportive environment.  Ages teen and up, no previous dance experience necessary.  Note: flamenco is a dance form of personal expression for women and men; it is NOT a partnered dance form.
