Day Three- Footwork Foundations: Taconeo

Time to bring the power! Today, we dive into taconeo (footwork)—one of the most exciting elements of flamenco. You’ll learn two essential techniques to create a distinct combination: golpe (flat foot) and tacón (heel).

Remember: The movement comes “from behind” for the golpe and keep the those knees relaxed and abs in!

Meet your teacher, Rina Orellana

Trained in Madrid and based in Los Angeles, California, I've been dancing flamenco for over 25 years and training dancers, from new beginners through advanced, ready to dance in tablaos- for 20 years.

I believe flamenco is a personal journey, and every dancer has something unique to offer. My methodology—Speak, Feel, Dance Flamenco—guides dancers to understand the rhythms, connect with the emotion, and move with authenticity and authority.

Since 2015, thousands of dancers from all over the world have danced their flamenco dreams with me inside the Online Flamenco Studio. I hope you will join us.
