Basic Flamenco Moves - A Flamenco Workout

This offers women and men a challenging opportunity to learn authentic Flamenco dance moves while building up endurance and strengthening hands, arm and feet coordination. It is choreographed into a systematic, effective, artistic, professional flamenco workout, for both high and low impact. It is broken down into three main workout segments.
Part One - Warm up. The program begins with a "Flamenco Floreo" exercise, essential to the Spanish Dance. It also focuses on neck exercises, knee bends, ankle flexes, lunges, and side stretches. Part Two - Footwork. Flexing the foot and striking the floor with the ball of the foot, then bringing down the heel to make two separate sounds - known as the Classic Flamenco Toe-Heel Step and Sound. Then, you learn how to embellish the Toe-Heel dance steps with combinations of arms and footwork. Part Three - The Spanish Jota. The Jota is the name of a Regional Dance in Spain, with many variations. Learning and practicing the Jota with us will help improve your endurance, as it naturally requires cardio-vascular progression. Ballet terms and techniques are used to teach these specialized movements properly.
