Have you been to a Flamenco performance and found yourself mesmerized by the sheer passion of the art form

• Learning about Flamenco rhythms and trying to produce simple rhythmic patterns by clapping them (palmas). We will also learn when to emit words of encouragement in Spanish (jaleos) and practice a few.
• Trying out a few basic movements to build appreciation of the dance aspect of Flamenco and understand its complexity (If you are interested in doing an hour class of dance please check out Flamenco dance Class.
