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 is a very popular colorful and festive Spanish folk dance from Seville. Sevillanas can be heard in southern Spain, mainly in fairs and festivals, including the famous Seville Fair ( La Feria de Sevilla).

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!
 
Sevillanas consists of four "Coplas". This first intensive Sevillanas weekend will cover the first and second coplas.
The second weekend will cover third and the fourth coplas.
 
Please note that learning sevillanas in regular weekly classes normally takes between 10-15 weeks depending on the level of students.
 
We also organize Sevillanas refresher workshops throughtout the year so students have the opportunity to practice and refine the  dance.

Advanced booking requited
Limited places please book early to avoid dissapointment.

GREAT INNOVATION FOR CASTANETS PLAYERS

Wherever you find a minute - behind the stage, at home, in classes – the Silencer provides the ideal solution to ear-busting castanet practice for both professionals and students. Easy to fit and adjust, it doesn't damage the castanet, and fits all regular sized castanets. The Silencer is handcrafted out of rubber and leather. Each pair is unique, made out of leather clippings and recycled rubber. All the leather is sourced from fairly-treated animals and 10% of all profits go to charity.

The price of the Silencer is £12 including postage.
