For Flamenco real lovers!
A complete cultural programme
A human scale school
Detailed programme
The art of flamenco was born in Andalusia in a marginal and persecuted community where jews, Arabs, Christians and Gypsies lived side by side. Flamenco represents a unique mix of all these influences, forged over centuries under the andalusian sun by people determined to escape their poverty via dance and music. There are 3 forms: Cante – song, Baile – dance and Guitarra – the guitar.
Two weeks in Winter, two weeks in Spring and two weeks in Summer to experience the intensity of the Flamenco world. The combination of courses include a great programme of activities related to the Flamenco way of life.
This unique opportunity will be the best way to get closer to one of the greatest and most original art forms.
The combination of dance and technique course with Spanish language together with "compás" and "palmas", are the basis of the Flamenco Tour.
Personal attention to each pupil is guaranteed, therefore you will be working in very small groups.
To make the experience complete you will also have the chance to attend the best flamenco events and cultural visits with the Spanish course.
Spanish course: Flamenco art, its lyrics, its messages, the andalucian landscapes or the emotions of its people can be understood and felt in a much deeper way through the knowledge of its language.
The course includes oral and written comprehension, giving particular attention to the vocabulary and the rich semantics of the Castillian language (with its andalucian influences).

The "compás" (Rhythm) and "palmas" (Clapping) are the pillars of Flamenco; it is very important that you understand them, to enable you to become involved in the accompaniment of a performer or to join in at a flamenco party.
The basic objective of this course is to teach the "redobles", "contratiempos" or just the compás which are essential complements for the dance courses.
