Frequently Asked Questions
YNope. Both paths work. If you've done the 4-Count course, this is a beautiful natural continuation — your Tangos foundation will help the 12-count click faster. If you're starting fresh here, you're also going to be just fine. Plenty of my students begin their flamenco journey right here with Solea por Bulerías and do beautifully. You're not behind. You're right on time.
The choreography is 1 minute and 27 seconds long. In my live classes I spend about 6-8 weeks on this material — once a week for an hour. But if you can dedicate 15 minutes a few times a week, most students finish in about 4 weeks. Go at whatever pace feels good.
A reliable internet connection and a space to dance. Flamenco shoes are recommended — and if you have them, you'll want a proper dance floor. Something as simple as a piece of plywood from the home improvement store with a coat of clear polyurethane works great.
Yes! You can download the choreography music directly from the course site. There's also a link to purchase solo compás practice music — rhythm only, like a drum machine — which is incredibly helpful for drilling the 12-count. You can also find free solo compás for Solea por Bulerías on YouTube.
The videos are streaming only, so you'll need an internet connection to access them. But you'll always have access — lifetime means lifetime.
