The workshop will concentrate ...on the rhythmic base of flamenco: the compas (rhythm) as expressed in palmas (clapping), and as applied to footwork, arm, and hand movements. The workshops will introduce short choreographies based on the selected palo (theme) by the instructor, such as Bulerias, Tangos, or Seguiriyas. Open to dance lovers of all ages and abilities.

$10 at the door.
