In person in Lake Oswego or ONLINEWhy Sevillanas?
Studying sevillanas helps to build a strong flamenco foundation and prepare students for other flamenco courses.
Many of the sevillanas steps are commonly used as marking steps in dances such as bulerías.
Without a doubt, the study of arms and upper body through sevillanas can be transferred all flamenco dances.
Many enjoy learning sevillanas as there is a clear formula for the dance, no guessing about what to do when. (Of course, there is always room for creativity later on!)
It is also fun learning to dance with a partner, and this helps the dancer become comfortable changing directions and turning. (No partner necessary for class.)
Learn and develop your upper and overall body technique.
Support your understanding of the compás and cante in all flamenco.
Get some good exercise without realizing it's exercise (cardiovascular, arm toning, major arm toning, core work.)
The repetitive movement is good for the brain!
"I love Sevillanas because, first of all, I can imagine being in Spain and there being a crowd of people all dancing them together...totally cool! Secondly, because they're very structured and fairly repetitive, just putting some same steps together different ways and different places, so I can feel like i am doing flamenco," - Celeste
Dancing sevillanas is fun. ¡Diviértete!
