Learn the STRUCTURE of flamenco dance

Do you feel LOST dancing flamenco????
It may be because you don't understand the STRUCTURE of flamenco.
WHAT DOES THE STRUCTURE OF FLAMENCO EVEN MEAN?
It’s all the parts, sections or components of a dance.
I’ve had countless dancers come to my classes (live or online) and lament that they took years of flamenco and STILL didn’t understand it. They learned plenty of choreographies but still couldn’t dance freely with the knowledge that they actually knew what they were doing!
It’s understanding the language of flamenco.
* To watch it
* To learn it
* Ultimately to improvise
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO KNOW?
This is IMPORTANT and ESSENTIAL for ALL levels of dancers: new beginner, advanced, mature, young.
Why?
Imagine being fluent in a foreign language and being able to express yourself and communicate vs. giving a speech that you've memorized. SAME THING IN FLAMENCO.
You could easily just learn a choreography and perform it, but are you *really* dancing? Are you truly expressing yourself? Could you ever feel confident to dance on your own?

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.
I have a special gift of making the complex simple!! 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 lecture will be about an hour and 15 minutes. We will watch various flamenco performance videos and go over all the different parts of the dance. No dancing, just watching.
We will NOT be dancing, but you might want to take notes, so bring a notebook!
This lecture is for all levels!! New beginners are not expected to remember all of this but it's important to be exposed to it. And if you have more flamenco experience, then this is ESSENTIAL LEARNING!!!
