DANC 047. Dance Technique: Flamenco
This is an introductory flamenco course designed to develop basic movement vocabulary and technique associated with flamenco as a dance form. Flamenco dance involves body attitude and carriage, braceo (arm movements), floreo (movements of fingers and hands), taconeo (footwork), vueltas (turns), and palmas (rhythmic hand clapping technique). A variety of exercises and technique studies in each of these elements will be presented. All forms of flamenco are structured around rhythmic patterns which will be introduced and explored through dance movement and live guitar music. Students will learn choreographic sequences that develop and embody their knowledge of flamenco rhythms and style. Class meets one time weekly and includes 4 Saturday meetings. Students taking DANC 047 for academic credit are required to keep a weekly journal and write two short papers.
0.5 credit or P.E. credit.
