Flamenco Essences: Rhythm Workshop
Friday 15th July 11.30am-12.30 Free Entry
Saturday 23rd July 6-7pm Free Entry
The mystery of the compás (rhythms) is the main task of all flamenco lovers. Compás & Palmas (clapping) workshops are one-hour long sessions in which we put within your reach the learning of the accents and the metric structure of flamenco, aspects that sometimes can be a little complicated for us. Mastery of the compás is fundamental to the practice of flamenco: rhythms, counter-beats, structure of singing, playing and dancing to accompany… and also is no doubt if Flamenco is fun, this is the part that gets it the most. Apart of a great exercise for your body and your mind you will be able to differentiate the palos (styles) through their metric structure, such as 4-beat Tangos, or all those governed by 12-beat compasses, such as the Soleá, Alegrías, Tientos, Bulerías, Guajiras and others. These workshops will be open to anyone regarding their level and for all ages and we will try to make it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Along the workshops we will develop several choreographies pieces that will allow us to practice and use all of our skills. Only by internalizing these structures and rhythms will we be able to improvise on the music so these sessions will continue regularly along the year with our TUFLAMENCO team where we will continue and go real deep into this very unique ocean which is the Art of Flamenco. Check our Flamenco Essences regular classes starting in September 2022. These sessions will take place in such special and incredible space, the Pianodrome, exceptional place well suited for these events so get ready for great fun and great flamenco. Vamos!!!
