Flamenco is an art full of emotion that has its roots in the Andalusian region of southern Spain. With its expressive gestures and complex footwork, flamenco not only reflects the passion of its dancers but also stands as a symbol of Spanish culture worldwide.

Our students had the incredible opportunity to immerse themselves in this fascinating art. The class began with clapping, essential for understanding the rhythm of flamenco. Next, they worked on their hands, learning the intricate movements of fingers and wrists, a true challenge they successfully overcame.

.

The most exciting part was adding the footwork. It was a moment full of energy and laughter, as coordinating the movements of arms, hands, and feet is no easy task. The students showed great enthusiasm and perseverance, reflecting their keen interest in learning to dance flamenco in the best possible way.

By the end of the session, the sense of accomplishment was palpable, and the flamenco workshop instructor was very pleased with our group.

Three cheers for our participants!

Olé, olé, and olé!
