Overview
-
Once in Spain, your local experience won't be complete until you give Flamenco dance a try! Join your favourite host and get a glimpse into the beautiful folk art of Flamenco - one of the most impressive expressions of Spanish culture and learn the basic steps to this traditional dance.
The workshop consists of two parts: the first part will explore the basics of "zapateado" (footwork) with some simple rhythm exercises. In the second part, you will learn the first Sevillana dance, and for the lady dancers ("bailaoras") you will be provided with a real flamenco dress during the class so you can feel like a real Spanish dancer.
This classic dance style is a combination of dance steps with the Andalusian folklore, traditional songs, and instruments of Mozarabic origin. Instruments like tambourines, finger cymbals known as 'Castanets. And your host will explain all about its history & cultural meaning more in-depth after your class while you unwind with a nice glass of homemade sangria.
