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.

Sound and Movement as Medicine

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.

John William Johnson has been dancing for 30 years, and has studied African

Dance, Contact Improv, Continuum, Rhythms, Soul Motion, Authentic Movement, Tribal Singing, and Spirit Song.
