About Flamenco Rhythms Classes: Clapping in Leith (All Levels)

Listed Under Workshops Events / Dance Events / Learning Events

Come and learn with us the clapping techniques, sounds, patterns and accents of the main styles of flamenco and how to use them on other musical genres. Whether you are or not a flamenco aficionado, or just perhaps a musician, these classes will help you understand the rhythms from other perspectives. Don’t think it twice. If Flamenco is well known for its fun this is no doubt the perfect class for it.

ABOUT THE FULL COURSE:
An exciting 8 weeks block of classes for all levels. Every Tuesday. We will dedicate the first 4 sessions to explore the Binary group (rhythms in 4), such as Tangos, Tientos or Tarantos; and the next 4 sessions to the Mixed group (rhythms in 12), such Bulerias, Alegrias or Solea. These will be classes full of creativity, exploration and opportunity to improvise. We will create two rhythmical choreographed pieces just on time for the #tuflamencofestival2022 where you will also have the chance to perform on the 24th June at the lovely Magnuson Theatre, Edinburgh Academy.

First class will be a free taster and after you can pay single classes (£7.50) or by block (£40, which is £5 class).

WHERE: Leith Community Centre (12A Newkirkgate, Leith, Edinburgh EH6 6AD)

FAQ:
Its recommendable to bring shoes that can make some sound and a positive attitude that allows your senses enter to a world of fun where everything has its own rhythm.

If you play an any instrument, you are welcome to bring it and we’ll find the way to help you developing your flamenco feeling and skills on it.
