LEVEL 1 - BEGINNER TECH Y SEVILLANAS 6-7:30PM 230$ session 25$ drop-in INFO
This course is intended for complete beginners or for those who want to review the basics more slowly.
PALO: SEVILLANAS Sevillanas is a traditional dance that has A LOT of space for finding personal expression with basic steps. Carlos Saura did a beautiful film entitled "Sevillanas" which you can find on youtube. He filmed many different grand artists which is a lovely starting point to understand what Sevillanas can look and sound like. At the base, it is a social dance, often done in juergas and gatherings of all sorts, mostly done in couples (so bring a friend!) but as you will see in the Saura film, can also be danced solo. VIDEO NOTES & CREDITS This is from our flashmob in 2023. We had the most beautiful day! 🌞 baile: EFRB cante: Natacha Torres cajon: Rae Bowhay |
