FLAMENCO PURO: The exotic, intense and beautiful dances of Southern Spain.  

You will learn:

  • Posturing

  • Arms (braceo)

  • Flamenco Rhythms

  • Footwork 

  • Various Styles of Flamenco, such as: Alegrias, Buleria, Fandango, Farruca, Rumba Flamenco, Sevillanas, Sequirillas, Soleares, Tangos, Taranto, Tientos, and Zambra

  • The personality of the dance

  • Use of the Mantilla (large shawl), Albanica (fan) and Castanets

    Choreography will also be taught.

WARNING:

Flamenco is not for everyone. It is a complex dance that requires dedication and perseverance. If you like the “style” of flamenco, but you are not ready for FLAMENCO PURO with the footwork, consider an easier form called:

RUMBA FLAMENCA

This style of dances is much easier to learn than Flamenco Puro, has great upbeat music, and is perfect for parties!

Tahja, who has over 4 decades of performing and teaching flamenco, offers classes in both styles.

Occasionally classes are accompanied with live music.

It's Flamenco, NOT Flamingo!

Remember, It’s “Flamenco” Dance, NOT “Flamingo” Dance!
