Bulerias Workshop

d

   

UNDERSTANDING THE BULERIA STRUCTURE

Due to the success of this bulerias structure workshop and the positive comments and feedback from students we are having a second one!!! A workshop to explore the compas and structure of buleria dance. We will explore the purpose of each segment: marcaje, llamada, escobilla, remate by applying them to 2 different buleria verses. The objective is to better understand 1. how the compas can be broken down into simpler stuctures, and 2. how the dance fits around the song. We will also investigate the general tone, themes, origins and attitude of Bulerias as a dance.

Intensive Sevillanas Course    
 



Sevillanas consists of four "Coplas". This first intensive Sevillanas weekend will cover the first and second coplas and depending on how fast we learn we might do an introduction to the third Sevillana. The second weekend will cover third and the fourth coplas. The course will end with a refresher of all 4 coplas.

One can find schools teaching "Baile por Sevillanas" in nearly every town in Spain. It consists of four "Coplas" performed by couples. It is an excellent foundation for all forms of Spanish dance. Ilusion Flamenca! organizes a trip to the Feria in Spain every year so students can dance Sevillanas with locals enjoying the real thing!

Ballet for Flamenco Workshop
 


Classical Ballet for Flamenco Dancers
A Workshop to Improve Technique and Body Awareness

Why Ballet ?
The technique of classical ballet originated in the courts of the Italian and French Renaissance and has developed over centuries. Today it provides the foundation for virtually every dance genre. It has the power to transform your dancing by developing strength, control, balance, co-ordination, flow of movement and a sense of good alignment. For the professional dancer, regular classes are essential to gain a high level of technical expertise. But if you’ve ever wondered how to get some of that technical knowledge without the daily grind of training, now is your opportunity!

What to Expect ?
We have put together a workshop that highlights some of the fundamental principles of classical technique. There will be exercises and explanations to help you understand these principles followed by direct applications to your flamenco dancing.
The session will include centre work, arm work, good posture, core stability, tips on turns and how to understand body alignment, spatial orientation and sense of direction.
All ages and levels of flamenco dancer are accommodated. So you need not be concerned that you won’t have enough energy or flexibility to cope, we are not focusing on the athletic aspects of Ballet!

What to Wear ?
Wear your usual flamenco skirt, shoes and top, but ladies be ready to remove the skirt for some of the work, ie. wear tights, leggings underneath or bring track-suit bottoms to slip on.

 

Day: Sunday 29th January

Time: 1-2.30pm

Fee: £20
