Special Classes

 Greetings!

On this page we offer short workshops specializing in material generally not covered in regular classes. La Tania's aim is to offer all the tools necessary to understand all the aspects of flamenco dance to give dancers a strong foundation and understanding of this art form. We hope you can take advantage of these workshops and that they will benefit you in furthering your knowledge. 

In the next 6 months these are the classes offered. 

Palmas & Intro to Cuadro Workshops - Level II/III

This class is intended to develope skills in Palmas (hand clapping) a very important componant for the flamenco student in learning to accompany other dancers by giving percussive support. It is a skill that takes time to develope starting from aquiring the right sounds to better understanding the compas (rhythm) and how to follow the dancer and music. Those signing up to this class can also be a more advanced student that has had little exposure to these type of classes. Dancers who attend this class and have some choreography taught by La Tania from previous classes would have the opportunity to experience dancing the piece alone. One may attend one class or all tthree classes, it is recommended, if possible, to take all three classes to advance in this skill. 

Bulerias por Fiesta  

Bulerías & tangos por fiesta are festive type of dances. They continue to be the highlight of fiestas or juergas (celebrations). These classes develop improvisational skills and a good sense of flamenco style. Classes are designed to train dancers to interact with the guitarist and singer in a spontaneous way. Simple steps and structure are taught so the dancers have a base to work off. Eventually, the students learn how to organize their own dance on the spot and improvise interpreting the cante (song). This gives the students the skills to really listen to the guitar and singing, which will also be useful for an overall understanding of how this art form works in general. A flamenco dancer must always have bulerías and tangos in their repertoire. This class is suited for advanced beginners, intermediate and advanced students.
