About the Class
In this class we will learn the essentials of accompanying the dance of one of the most dramatic and beautiful styles of flamenco: Soleá. Translating to English as “solitude”, Soleá is a deeply expressive style in a slow 12 count rhythm. When danced, it is often at a much slower tempo than as a guitar or singing solo. At this slower tempo for dance, there is a different rhythmic feel that requires different accompaniment and falsetas. We will learn an intro, marcajes, llamadas, letra accompaniment and a falseta that will give you a foundation for the dynamic feel to accompany this beautiful dance style. In the latter part of the class we will have the opportunity to practice what we are learning with dancers.
