A welcoming introduction to flamenco dance for adult beginners — posture, body alignment, arm movements, basic footwork (zapateado), and the rhythms of flamenco (compás). No previous dance experience necessary; just bring comfortable clothing, appropriate shoes, and a desire to learn.
When Wednesdays · 5:30–6:30 PM
Dates Sep 16 – Oct 28, 2026 · 6 weeks (no class Oct 7)
For dancers with previous flamenco experience — complex footwork combinations, turns, and body coordination, plus choreography, marcajes, llamadas, remates, and escobillas, and the interplay of dance, guitar, and cante. A solid grasp of basic technique is recommended.
