LEARN TO DANCE! @ SOLO FLAMENCO ARTS ACADEMY
We teach a pure, gypsy style of Flamenco that is not Classical Spanish Dance based. Our focus is on interpretation of the music, understanding of the singing and the rhythms, and improvisation. In Flamenco, the dancer is the music. Because we provide percussive sounds with our feet and hands, we serve as both musician and dancer, therefore Flamenco tends to be more challenging than other dance forms - but also more rewarding.

Finding Your Unique Sound and Movement Expression
This is an incredible opportunity to find yourself in sound and movement.
the practice is about moving outside of any boxes, and judgements of what
things should look or sound like. Letting yourself find the unique
espression of you in the moment, beyond any arbitrary aesthetic.
Moving without mind and sounding without words. Listen to other people's
movements and feel other other people's sounds. Integrate your awareness
into your daily living.
