SPRING SCHEDULE WITH LA MAGDALENA

All classes currently held at Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana, 4 West 43rd St (5/6 ave) 8th fl 

WEDNESDAYS  

7:30-9:00  Advanced Beginners  At this level students continue polishing basic skills by coordinating strong footwork with an expressive upper body. Emphasis is on building posture, endurance, stamina, and strength through an intense warm-up routine followed by short pieces of choreography in various palos. (Min. 6 months intensive study or instructor permission is required) 9:00-10:00  Repertorio  Ideal for intermediate through professional level dancers who want to perform on a regular basis. Dancers take turns running their solos for their classmates while the others learn to play correct palmas. Goal is to keep material fresh and ready to perform! Also during each class a section of the F con M repertory will be broken down in order to refresh returning students’ memory and incorporate new appropriate level students. If you are interested in the class please email.

SUNDAYS

1:00-2:15  Basic Beginner  - "Flamenco from Head to Toe". Flamenco brought to you straight from the source, Andalucía! Learn palmas (hand clapping), “taconeo” (footwork), and the lyrical arm & hand movement- called “marcaje” -which accompanies traditional flamenco. Whether you’d like to perform some day, or just get a good work out… jump in! Simple, lively choreography will be taught in the form of “Tangos.” 2:15-3:30 Advanced Beginner- Description above 3:45-5:00  ¡Compás! - EVERY FLAMENCO PERFORMER IS A PERCUSSIONIST! Palmas are the glue that holds Flamenco music, song & dance together. Magdalena cracks open the mystery of the compás.  Learn to play strong palmas, recognize the difference between “palos” (forms), and get comfortable with ”contratiempo” from finger snaps to footwork. Explore musicality in a casual, fun environment. Come one Come all! Musicians, Aficionados, and Dancers Welcome. Advanced Students, this is a chance for you to get your “patadas” ready for when they throw you on stage! This class will be accompanied by live guitar. 5:00-6:15  Intermediate / Advanced   Develop individual style and strength. Focus is on respectful accompaniment of music which is the essence of Flamenco. Escobillas, marcajes, remates, etc. offer chances for problem solving while also encouraging confidence in traditional and clear movement. Discover your ”soniquete!” This class will review and continue with more SEGUIRIYA. Strongly recommended in combination w/ “Compás” class. Minimum 3 years experience required COST: 25$ = drop in, 110$ = 5 class card (cash or via paypal) •Please arrive on time! If you are early, stretch! •Private Lessons Available
