Flamenco Dance Classes

Anda Flamenco is dedicated to teaching not only flamenco dance, but the entire art of flamenco. With the intent of training professional dancers (or at least well-educated fans who can enjoy dancing a bulerías at a juerga), Anda Flamenco also explores the structure, the compás (rhythm), the cante (song), the palmas (hand clapping), and the sentimiento (feeling) for any choreography we teach.

Learning proper technique is important both for ease of performance and beauty of line. At the same time, creativity and individual style are also encouraged and expertly guided. All classes are taught with guitar accompaniment and special occasions allow for a singer and/or guest artist teachers.

What Class Level Is Best For You?

INTRO classes are for people who have had NO flamenco training. We teach basic flamenco rhythms along with simple footwork patterns and arm work.
BEGINNING 1 classes are for students with 4 to 6 months of Intro classes. At this level, the student should have an understanding of basic footwork and arm work.
BEGINNING 2 classes are for students with from one to three years experience who have become comfortable with choreographies in different palos.
INTERMEDIATE 1 classes are for Beginning 2 students who want to challenge themselves and be the kid sisters of the Intermediate 2 class.
INTERMEDIATE 2 classes are for our most advanced students, most of whom perform or aspire to soon perform professionally. A thorough knowledge of flamenco on all levels - music, dance, singing, palmas is taught and expected to be understood.
 

What to Wear

For your first class, wear form-fitting clothes (skirt optional) and shoes with 1-2" sturdy heels. Make sure the shoes will stay on with activity—no sling-backs, for example, and straps are recommended. You should use shoes that are reserved for dance, not street shoes. Character shoes, if you have them, work for the first few classes. After that, you will have a better idea of what you want and need for classes. Many beginners find flamenco shoes for sale from more experienced dancers.
 

Private Instruction

Kristina de Sacramento also teaches private classes. Please contact her by email for additional information.
