Sevilla: Clase de Baile Flamenco

Introductory flamenco dance class in Seville focusing on body positioning, the steps and the genre's rhythms, with expressive work on arms and hands and a closing session to film the choreography learnt.

This class introduces the roots and culture of flamenco dance, one of Andalusia's most recognised expressions. The session focuses on basic body positioning, the steps and the rhythms specific to flamenco, and devotes attention to the expressive language of arms and hands. It has an introductory character, so it serves as a first contact with the genre.

Ladies are given a mamoncillo and a flamenco flower, and gentlemen a flamenco handkerchief. Towards the end of the session, participants can film the choreography they have learnt with their camera, to keep a memory of the class.

The activity is designed for visitors to Seville who want to try flamenco in a practical way, without giving up an explanation of its fundamentals.
