Flamenco Mondays |
| 6:30pm - 8:30pm |
We are presently revising material
learnt in workshops last year, and which were performed................Seviallanas, Fandangos de Huelva and Rumbas Flamenco.
The new material we are working on are Alegrias and Bulerias.
Fandangos de Huelva, pretty and relatively simple steps. Fandangos when danced is considered relatively light weight
Flamenco,and great for Beginners.
Seviallanas.... short and simple partner dances from Seville, frequently used to start a show, and great for parties.
Rumbas are fast and fun, an easy rhythm to learn, lots of hips, and get down funky steps.Along with Bulerias,Rumbas commonly close a show.
Alegrias [Happiness] Every Flamenco performer has an Alegrias solo, the rhythm has a light to brisk feeling and is in the basic timing used in most Flamenco rhythms.
Incorporated into the classes and workshops is Jaleo [cheering] and Palmas [clapping] and singing.
Other rhythms we will be learning this year.....
Bulerias, Farruca, Guajiras, Alegrias, Caracoles, and Tangos as well as other authentic rhythms.
We may also be adding Classical Spanish, fusion and modern choreography for stage.
By learning Bulerais rhythm, students will have a good understanding of most Flamenco rhythms. Bulerias is usually the last dance in a Flamenco show in which all members including guitarists and singers, dance at least one short Bulerias step [llamada] competing and entertaining each other in originality, humour, and timing intricacies. Bulerias can be very fast. This is the rhythm most commonly played at Fiestas.
Tangos are sensual and funky, same timing as Rumbas but slower, and are always played at the end of Tientos and Tarantos. Again, very good for Fiesta or stage, and can be featured as a solo. Tangos are commonly played in Flamenco fusion.
Caracoles, similar to an Alegrias, but has lots of commercials props, making it great for shows.Caracoles can include, castonets, fans, mantones[shawls[ and batas de cola [the long train on a Flamenco dress].
Dress Code
Dress for class preferably in black. Ladies need ankle length and wide skirts, and if you do not have Flamenco shoes, start with shoes with a lot of support and a slightly high heel.
Men comfortable pants, with short boots with a little heel.
Prices of Flamenco depends on ammount of hours in workshops or in classes.
