Modern Ballet & Flameco

About the Class

What to Expect Attire Students will dance barefoot—no partner needed! Please wear comfortable exercise clothing like yoga pants or sweats. Students are encouraged to bring a skirt for the Flamenco-inspired choreography. Warm-ups We’ll begin with ballet/modern warm-ups focused on strengthening the feet, improving posture, and developing balance. Flamenco Flamenco technique will include brazeo (arm work), palmas (rhythmic hand claps), and foundational theory. Students will learn a short choreography set to traditional Flamenco music.
