In this Beginning class we'll explore how to dance with the abanico (flamenco fan).
In Person w/Online option
Saturdays | 12:30-1:30pm* PT
Fall Series: September 27 - November 1
(no class October 25 due to Emilio Ochando workshops)
Your friends and family are invited to come watch you dance the piece we learn w/live guitar on November 1st at the end of class.
*Class may be taken in real time or on demand after the fact via recording.
We'll study basic technique of the abanico including:
How to hold the fan correctly
Multiple methods of opening the fan
How to use your wrist to move the fan in different ways
What to do with the other hand
In addition we'll study upper body positioning and how this works with the abanico
And we'll learn a short choreography with the abanico. This will be an opportunity to integrate abanico technique with full body movement in compás. (Here is an example of what it can look like to dance with abanico).
What if I don't have an abanico?
No problem. We have fans for sale and loan.
What if I'm not a beginner?
This workshop addresses beginning-level skills, but higher level dancers, who are interested in breaking down abanico technique are welcome to join.
Where does it take place?
