Has FLAMENCO grabbed your SOUL
& you're ready to DANCE?
* You hear the strum of the flamenco guitar and the singer's "quejío" (ay, ay, aaaayyyy) and YOUR HEART STIRS.
* You've always DREAMED OF DANCING flamenco because you are drawn to the passion and intensity but wonder if it's too late to learn.
* You've been away from flamenco for many years and you are finally READY TO DEDICATE YOURSELF to dancing again but don't know where to start.
* Perhaps you've been taking flamenco dance lessons for years but STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND how it works and feel like you've wasted your time!
* Maybe you still don't seem to be able to COORDINATE YOUR BODY, feel the COMPAS and look even BLAND when you see yourself on video.

Meet your teacher,
Rina Orellana
Trained in Madrid and based in Los Angeles, California, I've been dancing flamenco for over 25 years. I've also been training dancers for 20 years- from new beginners through advanced, ready to dance in tablaos.
After all these years of teaching, I've really learned what budding and seasoned dancers struggle with. And I say NO more imitating a bunch of steps from a choreography with no knowledge of what you're actually dancing!
I believe that dancing flamenco is a personal journey and we all have something unique to offer. I am passionate about helping dancers unleash their inner Flamenca by bravely stepping up to be seen.
My goal is clarify the secret language of the art form so that you can truly dance it with confidence and self expression. ¡Ole!

FAQ's
The class will be about an hour and a half. We will go over the elements of what IS flamenco with a little background and breaking down what dancers do. Then we'll DANCE! We'll start with the compás (rhythm), palmas (hand clapping), then move on to manos (hands), braceo (upper body) and marcaje (marking steps). Then we'll put it all together for a fun combination.
No flamenco shoes necessary! You just need an area where you can dance freely-- it doesn't have to be big at all. You also need a reliable internet connection.
No experience necessary! This class is geared to dancers and non-dancers alike with NO experience in flamenco. Of course, if you do have some flamenco experience then this will be a fun refresher class!
YES! A replay will be sent out to those that sign up. But the replay will be available for a short amount of time, so be sure to watch it ASAP. You can even review the video if you come to class live.
