Synopsis

In this class, we will dance to the rhythm of bulerías, a lively and festive flamenco style that is undeniably the soul of a good fin de fiesta (end-of-party celebration).

 

This class is intended for students or enthusiasts who have a basic knowledge of flamenco dance (beginner/intermediate level), and have been training regularly in flamenco dance at least once a week for the past two years.

 

We will work on rhythm, marking, finishing touches, and calls that will expand participants' skills for fully enjoying a good pataíta por bulerías (a short, lively bulerías dance).

 

This workshop is part of da:ns focus – Salero Flamenco, a weekend which embraces the passion, soul and fervour of flamenco dance performed by some of the best musicians and dancers worldwide, while also engaging with flamenco practitioners and aficionados in Singapore.

 

Be sure to catch Vuela by Sara Baras at the Esplanade Theatre on 10 & 11 Jan 2025.
