This class offers students an understanding of Flamenco that delves deeper than just learning the movements by explaining the “whats” and “hows” of flamenco dance.  Flamenco’s history is vast and its musicality is complex.  Knowledge and understanding of both is needed for a deeper interpretation of the dance style. In Part I of this two-part series, the history and background of flamenco will be explained/discussed (the “why”).  In addition, the theory of some of the most commonly performed palos (rhythms) will be explained to include its background, compas (musical measure), cante (song), and choreographic structure (the “how”).
