Edmonton Flamenco Festival – April Workshops
Information on the Edmonton Flamenco Festival weekend workshops in dance and song on April 21 – 22 has been posted. Don’t miss this chance to experience the artistry of our incredible guest performers from Spain.
Weekend cante (song) classes – for all levels.
I highly encourage everyone to attend. These classes are designed to practice singing as a group and even if you are not interested in singing beyond the class, are invaluable for deepening your understanding of the dance. Never been to a cante class before? Not to worry we tend to all help each other out. These are fun classes with a lot of students attending.
Weekend dance classes – for dancers with a minimum of 2 years flamenco dance experience.
- Are you in my level I – III classes?
The Beg/Int tientos workshop with Irene la Sentio is aimed at your level. - In my level III – IV classes?
The Int/Adv level with Jairo Barrull is aimed at your level. - Wondering about the bata classes?
We’ve asked Irene la Sentio for technique and movement combinations.
Stay tuned for dance classes for students with less than 2 years experience and options for more advanced cante classes.
Dancers, there is a lot of interest from dancers in Edmonton and other cities in Canada and we anticipate high registration levels. Class sizes are limited and we encourage you to register early so you don’t miss out.
