Understand Flamenco,
Don't Just Dance It!
A beginner-friendly lecture that explains what most classes never teach.
Before you DANCE Flamenco,
you need to SPEAK Flamenco!
You love flamenco. Maybe you’ve already started classes—or you’ve been dancing for years—but something still feels missing.
You hear all this flamenco vocabulary thrown around, and you’re not quite sure what it means.
You know there are different rhythms (palos), but how do you tell them apart?
And when someone dances, what exactly are you seeing—the structure, the sections, the compás?
If you’ve ever asked yourself any of these questions…
✨ This lecture is for you.
You’ll finally understand what flamenco really is—beyond the steps and passion—so that everything you dance (and watch) makes sense.
Flamenco Theory 101
What every dancer needs to finally speak flamenco!
✨ In this one-hour lecture, you’ll uncover the foundations most classes skip.
✨ You’ll explore the history, the rhythms (palos), the pulse (compás), and the structure hidden behind every movement.
✨ With video reviews of live dances—Tangos, Alegrías, Soleá, Seguirilla, Tientos, Guajiras & Bulerías—you’ll start recognizing what’s happening when you watch or perform.
If you’ve ever felt stuck wondering why a dance flows the way it does—or how to make sense of it—this lecture gives you the clarity you’ve been missing.
Meet Your Maestra,
Rina Orellana
I’m a Madrid-trained flamenco dancer with over 25 years of experience, and I’ve been running my own dance academy in Los Angeles for more than two decades. Plus, through my Online Flamenco Studio, I’ve had the joy of teaching dancers from all over the world!
I love breaking down the mysteries of flamenco into simple, clear lessons that actually click.
My hope is that this Flamenco Theory 101 Lecture helps you deepen your understanding and dance with even more confidence, joy, and connection.
