Over the ten weeks, the beginner flamenco classes will provide you with the first tools to express yourself though the passionate flamenco rhythms (palos) with techniques of arms and hands movement, palmas (hand clapping), taconeo (footwork) and marcajes (marking steps). You will dive into rich cultural history and feel empowered, while also strengthening your muscles and burning calories. No flamenco shoes required. Classes are cap at 20 participants, all ages and abilities welcomed. Please bring your own water bottles and wear comfortable flat soled sneakers (such as Converses or Adidas Superstar). Our instructor, Mariana Paes, is an artist, educator, event producer, and multicultural communications specialist committed to community transformation through art, diversity, inclusion, and equity. Her Brazilian roots with Spanish, Lebanese, Indigenous and Black heritage, as well as her ballet, jazz, belly dance, flamenco and music training grant her a unique artistic vision. Paes has been dancing flamenco for over 15 years and learned from multiple maestras such as Symone Coelho, Trini, Ale Kalaf, La China, Carmen Talegona, Omara Amaya, Laura Sanchez, Nino de Los Reyes, and Belen Maya. And the learning never stops!
Drop ins are $15, full 10-week series are $130.
