Joy of Flamenco – Elementary/Intermediate Technique

  • What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching? 
Flamenco is an art form based on the various folkloric music traditions of southern Spain, developed within the gitano subculture of the region of Andalusia, but also having a historical presence in Extremadura and Murcia. Flamenco is closely associated to the gitanos of the Romani ethnicity who have contributed significantly to its origination and professionalization. However, its style is uniquely Andalusian and flamenco artists have historically included Spaniards of both gitano and non-gitano heritage.
  • What background, training, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject? 
Clara Ramona, the esteemed flamenco artist for 45 years and has professionally gained recognition in the exclusive and cutthroat world of the complex art form. Clara continued her ballet at the Boston Conservatory of Music and Dance where she obtained a BFA in dance.
  • What can students expect from this workshop?
This class is for individuals interested to learn flamenco but have had no flamenco background. Students will learn basic compas (flamenco rhythm), brazeos (armwork), taconeos (footwork), palmas (rhythmic clapping), vueltas (turns), marcaje (movements) that are put together into short combinations.
  • Finish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…
My greater mission is nurturing future world-class talents, previously as a faculty member of the Boston Conservatory of Music and Dance, my alma mater, and the Walnut Hill School of Performing Arts, in addition to leading seminars at the Harvard University Dance Program, Boston University School of Fine Arts, and Bates College Dance Festival. I spend much time traveling to Manila (Philippines), Xi’an (China), Beijing (China) and Boston (USA) and conduct frequent workshops and makes it a priority to continually advance the training of my students as they continued to learn about this art form.
