Join us as we kick off our 22-23 Raise the Barre series with an introduction to the art of Flamenco. In this workshop, students will explore foundational movements and rhythms of flamenco dance, as well as learn about the origins and conversational nature of this beautiful art form. No prior experience in flamenco or dance is necessary. All bodies and abilities are welcome!
All workshop participants will receive a ticketing discount to our presentation of Farruquito: Flamenco Íntimo on October 26, 2022.
Students should wear comfortable clothing that they can easily move in. A long, loose skirt is also encouraged for those who wish. For shoes, flamenco shoes are best, but not necessary. As a substitute, students can wear character shoes or any closed-toe and thick-heeled shoes or boots. If you do not own anything like this, sneakers are also ok.
Space is limited.
