About Flamenco:

Coiling wrists, fluid arms, and percussive footwork are hallmarks of flamenco dance—a mesmerizing, soul-enriching dance form that parallels the beautiful melodies and intricate rhythms of flamenco music. Danced individually by men and women alike, flamenco is the heartbeat of a culture in which joy and sorrow are expressed through dance and music, embodying the relationship between the cante (singing), baile (dancing), and the compás (rhythm).

Clothing and Footwear:

• Clothing: Wear whatever makes you feel good and allows you to move your arms up and around freely.
• Footwear: Wear shoes that hold your feet properly. Avoid open-toe and open-heel shoes such as sandals, slip-ons, flip-flops, bare feet, or wedges. It is best to wear a shoe with a bit of a heel that can make a little bit of sound. If not, a pair of sneakers should be enough.
