TUESDAY 7:10-8:40PM​

Nov 23rd - Dec 14th

This class provides an opportunity for dancers and musicians to develop their understanding of flamenco language through practical application. Do our llamadas call? Do our cierres cut? Can we respond to changes in the cante, guitar or palmas? The best way to find out is by giving it a try in this supportive multi-level space where we can make mistakes and learn from each other. Musician and dance participants expect to spend about ⅔ of the class time learning to accompany fellow dancers through palmas and jaleos. This session we’ll be joined by palmera Christina Lorentz.

Limited to 3 dancers and 2 musicians per class. By instructor permission only, please inquire if you would like to join.

This fall we'll start a new choreography to this elegant palo.

Traditionally a type of Andalusian folkloric song, bamberas derived from cante de columpio (songs that were sung to the rhythm of a swing). Its beautiful poetry shines in the cante, and is open to musical arrangements. Early generations approached Bambera from the angle of fandangos, but Paco de Lucia changed the direction to the style of solea por bulerias.
