Discover the spirit of Bulerías de Jerez!
Fridays 28 Aug, 4 Sep, 11 Sep, 7-9pm
Gain a deeper understanding of Flamenco’s most playful rhythm in this exclusive three-week beginner course in Lancaster. No prior experience is required. This progressive workshop is designed to develop confidence and enjoyment of bulerías from the heart of Jerez.
Weeks 1 & 2: Foundations with Sarah Chambers
Your first two sessions are led by Sarah Chambers, an experienced Manchester-based music and dance teacher. As a university music graduate who has spent five years studying the form of Bulerías, Sarah will help you feel comfortable with the compás (rhythm), traditional arm movements, and basic footwork in a relaxed, supportive environment. You will build up a sequence of steps that can be used in choreography or in an improvised fin de fiesta.
Week 3: Finale with Andrés Peña
Your final session is a masterclass led by Jerez-born flamenco dancer Andrés Peña. As the co-director of the prestigious Ballet Flamenco de Cádiz and dance academy in Cádiz, Andrés is a globally sought-after educator who leads workshops worldwide. He is celebrated for a warm, accessible teaching style that perfectly guides beginners. Andrés will sing the traditional cante and demonstrate how to connect the vocal lines with the steps you have learned. You will learn how to listen to the song, pick up his infectious energy, and find your own confidence in the bulerías rhythm.

Note that specialist footwear is not required. While flamenco shoes are helpful, any comfortable shoes (like trainers or low heels) are absolutely fine for this style of dance.
