Bring The Birth of Flamenco
to your school or community event.
Discover
the fiery art of Flamenco, a creation of the Roma (or Gypsies) who
fused dance from Spaniards, music from the Moors and song from
Sephardic Jews. Through movement, music and words, Eve Costarelli
traces the origins of this emotive form from India to Andalusia. In
addition to Flamenco’s rich history, students will learn about
compás (rhythm) tacaneo (footwork) and the communication between
dancer and guitarist. They’ll join in the performance using palmas
(clapping rhythms) and jaleo (calls) and volunteers will be called
upon to learn a few moves!
