This programme is aimed at dancers who wish to dedicate themselves professionally to flamenco dance.

For three months, you will be able to study flamenco dance with three hours a day of technique and choreography classes. In addition to these three hours of dancing, you will have eight more weeks of "Knowing Flamenco" courses: rhythm, dance structure and singing. Every two weeks you will have an individualized practical tutorial of one hour with one of the dance teachers. Every two weeks you can also participate in an improvisation session (flamenco jam), with a dance teacher, guitar accompaniment and singing.

Every day from Monday to Friday, you will have three hours of flamenco dance. An hour and a half dedicated to the technique of dance and another hour and a half to studying the specific choreography of a flamenco style or palo, which will change every two weeks. In this way you will be able to cover a wide variety of styles.

During the technique class, different exercises are done every day to warm up, tap, markings, turns, twists, twists, arms, hands, and balance and positioning of the body. All the elements involved in the dance are practiced, without the need to learn a complete choreography. Normally different dance phrases are worked on for different flamenco styles: alegrías, bulerías, seguiriya, etc. Sometimes recorded music is used to perform the exercises.

Every two weeks you will learn a different choreography for one of the most common flamenco styles. Depending on the level, some sticks are worked or others. At the intermediate level, we usually study dance for alegrías, soleá for bulerías, bulerías, jaleos, fandangos, tientos, tangos or seguiriya, among others. In the advanced level it is possible to study any style, but the most common ones are: alegrías, soleá por bulerías, caña, seguiriya, martinete, soleá, taranto, tientos, farruca, tangos, bulerías, jaleos, fandangos, guajira or rondeña, among others.

Special importance is given to studying the rhythm and style of each palo, its character and the way in which each dance is performed, as well as the relationship with the guitar and the vocals.

You will start at the appropriate level, intermediate or advanced. If you start at the intermediate level, you will be able to change to the advanced level whenever your tutor deems it necessary.

All advanced students have the possibility of taking a selection test, in which they are chosen to participate in the show that takes place at the Peña de la Platería at the end of the course. In this show, each selected student will be able to present their own choreography, for the preparation of which they will have the support of their tutor.
