Workshops and private lessons are offered throughout the year. During the weekdays, the program includes classes for the absolute beginner all the way through professional development. There is a child-specific class on Saturday which trains children in the fundamentals of Flamenco rhythm, palmas (hand-percussion) and dance techniques.
Staying true to Flamenco’s foundation as a solo art form, each individual at Casa Flamenca is trained independently so no two dancers look exactly alike. Smaller class sizes at Casa Flamenca help the instructor tend to the needs of each student. Often, classes will have a range of levels from beginning-intermediate students through concert professionals. The professional students in class give beginning students an audio visual reference of where discipline and hard work can take them as a future Flamenco artist.
Casa Flamenca focuses on preserving Flamenco as a language. It is important to be able to understand the heritage and oral traditions of Flamenco as a cultural art. Using a structured method and codified terminology it becomes easier for the student to master the language of dynamic calls and signals which aid in the creation of both Flamenco choreography and original music. Passing on this language of Flamenco, we help educate a community that can later educate others.
Casa Flamenca is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit performing arts organization whose mission is to teach, present, and preserve the art of flamenco.
