Welcome To
Introduction to Spanish dance/Flamenco workshops
the Emerald Hub arts/performance space.
About Me.
I am an experienced flamenco dancer, having had over 10 years of technical training in studios in Sydney before moving to Melbourne and eventually forming a duo with a flamenco guitarist, also with many years of experience, creating my own choreography and visual art.
My love of flamenco started in the studios of Antonio Vargas (father of a Fran, Strictly Ballroom) back in the early 90’s and continued in the south of Spain (home of flamenco) whilst there in 1991/92. Although I’ve had breaks from dancing due to
other life commitments, my passion for the dance never died and I kept returning to the exciting rhythms of flamenco!
In 2012 my guitarist and I formed the duo
Flamenco Andaluz and we continue to create new choreography and perform at special events.
If you would like to learn a bit about this passionate and expressive dance, then I can
take you through the steps of this complex art form. Ole!
My Workshops
These workshops will be run over 3 Saturday afternoons; the
11th, 18th and 25th June from 2-4pm at the Emerald Hub
arts/performance space.
Whilst it is not essential to do all 3 workshops, it is highly
desirable as the third session will be a culmination of all 3
workshops that will result in a short dance with live
guitarist accompaniment.
Workshops will be a basic introduction to 3 parts of this
complex Spanish art form; the rythym (el compas), the
clapping (las palmas) and of course the dance (el baile).
You will need a full skirt, a leotard or leotard type top and
shoes with a Cuban or chunky type heel (no stilettos
please!)
