Fandangos

Progressive Beginner Flamenco Dance Course for Levels 1 & 2 (Hybrid Course)

This exciting flamenco course is tailored for progressive beginners, meaning, students with a grasp of flamenco basic techniques as well as those intermediate level students looking to learn a new choreography and refine their skills, this class combining foundational technique with choreography. The class begins with 30 minutes of footwork to refine your technique, followed by the development of an original choreography to “Grandes son Mis Tormentos”—a Fandangos de Huelva performed by the soulful and innovative flamenco singer, Pitingo. The class length is 75 minutes. Additional 15 minutes at the end of class will be dedicated to review of Sevillanas and previously learned material or other content that requires focus.

Fandangos, a palo deeply rooted in Andalusian folk traditions, is characterized by its lyrical structure and rich melodies and has a rhythm in 3, similar to that of sevillanas. Originating in Huelva, Fandangos has evolved into one of flamenco’s most beloved forms, celebrated for its versatility and expressive range.

6 Tips for a Fulfilling Dance Experience

To make the most of your flamenco journey with us, here are six tips:

Ask for Help in Class: Don't hesitate to seek clarification or additional repetitions of a step from your teacher.
Commit to Regular Attendance: Consistency is key to mastering flamenco. Regular attendance ensures you don't miss out on vital progress.
Practice Regularly: Just 5-10 minutes of daily practice can work wonders in developing muscle memory and technique.
Communicate with Your Teacher: If you ever feel challenged or overwhelmed, your teacher is here to support you. Discuss any concerns or adjustments you need.
Focus on Your Progress: Everyone progresses at their own pace. Avoid comparing yourself to others and embrace your unique journey.
Cherish Your Own Progress: Remember, you're here because you love flamenco. Be kind to yourself and celebrate your accomplishments.
