Overview
The best moment to step into flamenco? During Flamenco Festival! Don’t just watch- move & learn in this fun workshop from the first beat!
Part of the Flamenco Festival Sessions, this is a complete beginners flamenco workshop designed to get you moving, clapping and feeling the rhythm from the very first minute.
Never tried flamenco before? This is your chance to learn the basic steps, rhythms (compás), clapping (palmas) and simple body coordination that form the foundation of flamenco dance. You’ll also pick up a few fun “party moves” so you can join in any flamenco gathering with confidence.
Guided by the brilliant Laura Gonzalez (dancer, singer and percussionist) you’ll learn in a relaxed environment, building your sense of rhythm as you go. She’ll be accompanied live by guitarist Bryan Reyes, so you learn with real flamenco music in the room, just like in a social gathering.
No experience needed. No special shoes needed (You can bring flamenco shoes if you have them , but not needed). All ages and abilities welcome.
A fun, immersive introduction that will completely change how you experience the festival!
