I'M LOVING IT
I just joined the online course, and I’m loving it. Rina's lessons are fun, yet challenging. I started as a complete beginner with no previous flamenco dance experience, just an appreciation for the art form. In her online course, she shows us the steps and guides us through choreography. I enjoy learning how to dance flamenco at my own pace. Thank you!
~Maria M.
BRILLIANT COURSE
It's a brilliant course for me. I never thought I would have the opportunity to study flamenco- no classes nearby, no need to travel, learn at my own pace with an excellent teacher.

Flamenco Beginner's Bundle... what's inside
Intro to Flamenco Course
(Tangos)
¡Toma! You will learn a few fundamentals first, then a choreography with 2 letras (singing verses) and a section of taconeo (footwork) in the 4-count rhythm of Tangos. Each lesson is easy to follow and only less than 10 minutes long.

Module 1: Foundations
The lessons in this module include an introduction to the course and a brief overview of flamenco, hand-clapping, arm positioning, hand movement, and footwork basics.
Links to the music used are provided.

Module 2: Demos
Here are the front and back view demonstrations of the complete Tangos choreography you will learn. Plus there's a complete practice session that's nice and slow without the music.
Tangos is a fun and funky rhythm in flamenco. This short choreography is set to the music of legendary singer, Cameron de la Isla. It includes 2 letras (singing verses) and 1 escobilla (footwork section)

Module 5: Tangos Choreography, Escobilla
We finish the dance with the “escobilla” or footwork portion of the choreography. Practice slowly and try to articulate the sounds. Once you build up the muscle memory to do the movement slowly, then you can pick up the tempo.
This module has two videos: the escobilla lesson and practice.
Intro to 12 Count Course
(Solea por Bulerías)
This course introduces the more complex 12 count rhythm. You'll learn the palmas (hand clapping) and compás (rhythm) of a basic 12 count rhythm called Solea por Bulerias. Then you'll build on that technique for a short choreography that introduces more markings and footwork.

Meet Your Teacher,
Rina Orellana
Rina is a Madrid-trained professional flamenco dancer with over 20 years of experience. She also has had her own dance academy in Los Angeles, California for over 15 years. There she trains many dancers from beginners looking for a fun community and workout all the way to training dancers to perform on their own in tablaos (flamenco venues.) She also has the Online Flamenco Studio, a thriving site with over 30 courses for dancers of all levels.
Rina has a special gift with breaking down the mysteries of flamenco into easy to understand elements. So, she thoroughly enjoys watching the progress her dancers have made whether it's finally "hearing the 12" for a beginner to a tablao dancer using one of her choreographies for her show.
It’s her hope that you, too, can begin your flamenco journey with the Flamenco Beginner's Bundle and unleash your own flamenco beast!!
Here’s what people are saying about Rina Orellana
THOROUGH, YET CONCISE
Rina is a generous and enthusiastic teacher. Her love of flamenco is infectious. She explains things thoroughly, yet concisely. She demonstrates movements - not only steps, but body position and arms and hands. After showing what she is going to teach, she breaks it down, then builds it back together, then practices with us! Thank you, Rina, for sharing your gift with us.
~Kathy S.

Frequently Asked Questions
You'll need a reliable internet connection for your computer, tablet, mobile or television. For dancing, you'll need a good pair of flamenco shoes if you're sure you want to stick with flamenco. You'll also need a space to dance. If you buy flamenco shoes, then you'll need a dance floor. The dance floor can be something as simple as an inch think piece of plywood from the home improvement store covered with a coat of clear polyurethane. You'll receive resources for both with your purchase.
The videos are available by streaming only. So you need an internet connection for your mobile, tablet, computer or television to access the course. Downloading the videos are not possible. But you will always have access to these videos!
Start with the Intro to Flamenco (Tangos) course. Since Tangos is a 4-count rhythm, the movement will be easier to learn. Then you can move on to the Intro to 12 Count (Solea por Bulerias) course.
You will be able to download the music from the choreography directly from the site. However, there is a link for the practice music for you to purchase. There practice music is "solo compás", or rhythm by itself like a drum machine. You can also find this music for free on YouTube
You'll want to dedicate time to learning this choreography. I spend about 6-8 weeks teaching this material to my new beginners live group class. That would be once a week for an hour. However, if you can spend 15 minutes a few times per week, I'm sure you could complete one course in 4 weeks.
After these two courses, you should know two short choreographies in the rhythms of Tangos and Solea por Bulerias. But learning flamenco is just like learning a language or a musical instrument. So, think of it that way and you'll enjoy the learning process more.
