No More Footwork Frustration!
It's time to get the compás, clarity and confidence in your flamenco footwork WITHOUT a bunch more drills!
Improving your footwork isn't just more drills--
It's about understanding!
Do you say these things about footwork?
- "I can’t coordinate my arms with my feet"
- "I always get out of compás, especially when it gets fast"
- "It hurts my knees"
- "All the fancy escobillas I learn at workshops come out bland"
- "I don't understand the differences between an escobilla, remate and all the other flamenco terms"
If you've ever felt confused, awkward, or frustrated with your flamenco footwork, then you're a NORMAL flamenca!!!
But fixing it is NOT more drills!
It's actually, Speaking, Feeling & Dancing Flamenco and, my favorite: KISSing Flamenco!
We'll do this and so much more in the 4 Day Flamenco Footwork Workshop!
