LLMT 478 - Flamenco Dance: An Introduction

Flamenco is a graceful dance of expression characterized by intricate hand, foot, and body movements. Join us for a fun and insightful class in which we will gain a broad understanding of this traditional Spanish dance and its music. We will focus on flamenco rhythms; the interaction between the guitarist, singer, and dancer; and a brief history of flamenco dance. We will also learn about flamenco dance technique, which includes rhythmic footwork (zapateado), arm (braceo) and hand placement, and overall body placement. We will focus on a Tangos choreography that builds each week.
