\n

The Session<\/h2>\n
Three main sessions are given per year: fall, winter and spring. Each session includes 10 to 12 classes depending on the calendar year. Learning a choreography throughout the year gives structure to the acquisition of technique, instils a feeling of accomplishment, and prepares dancers for the year-end performance. The summer session features beginner level and technique classes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Les cours<\/h2>\n

A good flamenco class is no different from any other well-structured dance class. At the Acad\u00e9mie Ballet Flamenco Lina Moros all classes start with a general warm-up as preparation for the main body of the class: the study of technique (taconeo, braceo and turns) along with the learning and practice of a particular dance. A \u2018cool down\u2019 period at the end allows students time to unhurriedly integrate their new flamenco knowledge and relax muscles.<\/p>\n

\n

The class warm-up period is the dancer\u2019s breakfast.<\/em>

Note that these are general guidelines only<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Beginner Level I<\/h2>\n

Students new to flamenco with no prior experience<\/em><\/p>\n

The first session concentrates on learning the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The rudiments of flamenco footwork (including contratiempo or countertime rhythms),<\/li>\n
  • How to be \u2018grounded\u2019 and attain desired flamenco posture,<\/li>\n
  • Basic arm work and hand gestures,<\/li>\n
  • A dance or routine done to\u00a0 a particular rhythm<\/li>\n
  • Palmas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    These skills are acquired while learning a dance.<\/p>\n

    Beginner Levels II and III<\/h2>\n

    Students who have taken Beginner I or who have some prior experience<\/em><\/p>\n

    These levels are very similar to Beginner I and their aim is to continue with the acquisition of technique and advance in the learning of a particular choreography.<\/p>\n

    Elementary Levels<\/h2>\n

    Students having approximately one to two years of flamenco training
    \n<\/em><\/p>\n

    Students increase their knowledge of footwork patterns and rhythms. Those continuing into their second year usually learn a dance in a different comp\u00e1s and\/or palo (musical form) from the previous year thereby diversifying their understanding of the art form and its styles.<\/p>\n

    Intermediate Levels<\/h2>\n

    Students having approximately three to four years of study<\/em><\/p>\n

    At this level:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Choreographies are more complex,<\/li>\n
    • Footwork patterns more intricate, longer and challenging,<\/li>\n
    • Brazco more varied,<\/li>\n
    • Students continue to work on assimilating the styles of particular palos (i.e. the feminine grace of an alegr\u00edas vs the masculine style of the farruca),<\/li>\n
    • It is often a good time for students to be introduced to dancing with an accessory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Advanced Levels<\/h2>\n

      Students having approximately five years or more of flamenco training<\/em><\/p>\n

      New developments at this level include:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Recognizing and developing one\u2019s own style as a dancer, more profound study of the comp\u00e1s,<\/li>\n
      • Learning choreographies based on cante jondo (deep and moving cante) often reserved for mature and\/or experienced dancers,<\/li>\n
      • Students are occasionally invited to perform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Along with setting choreography for her professional company Ballet Flamenco Arte de Espa\u00f1a, Lina is able to create flamenco and Spanish stylized dances with her advanced students. She works with the dancers to explore choreographic ideas and consider their input. The creative process has truly begun![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
