This past month has been a whirlwind of great experiences in our classes at Ritmo Flamenco. I am now offering ALL OF OUR LIVE CLASSES TO BE ATTENDED VIA ZOOM!
DUE TO ONGOING HEALTH GUIDELINES, RITMO IS NOW OFFERING ALL CLASSES VIRTUALLY BEGINNING OCTOBER 19.
The fees for our Zoom classes are $48 for 4 classes ($12 per class)
Mondays from 6:30-7:20 pm INTERMEDIATE FLAMENCO (CARACOLES WITH FAN)
The Caracoles is a light-hearted version of the Alegrias and is in the same compas but different key. It is beautiful done with a fan. Those who did not make it into the Guajiras class have this new option!
Mondays from 7:35 – 8:25pm CASTANET/SEVILLANAS MIXED LEVEL
This class is for those with beginner knowledge of castanet playing and are currently working on more complicated rhythmical patterns. The Sevillanas is a traditional dance from Seville. It is widely performed in most flamenco repertoire so it is a valuable dance to learn for those interested in the art of Spanish dance and flamenco. Castanets are important as they are the first “prop” you will be adding to your flamenco repertoire and castanet playing is essential for those wishing to improve all area of flamenco dance. I also cover posture, foot placement, turns and other skills necessary to gain overall control and grace in your dancing. Please use your own castanets due to health precautions.
Mondays from 8:35-9:25pm INTERMEDIATE FLAMENCO GUAJIRAS
Students in this class have a minimum of 3 yrs. of training. Guajira is a palo based on the Cuban Punto Guajira Cubana. Guajiras is a prime example of the “Cantes de Ida y Vuelta”. The flamenco guajira is a genre that brings together a series of songs called Guajiros that are grown in the rural areas of Cuba. I will be incorporating fan technique into this dance as the Guajiras commonly uses a large abanico (fan). We will be re-working the dance from previous work that was stopped due to the studio closure. You should have your own fan as I cannot lend them. Email Valerie to place fan orders in case you don’t have one.
Tuesdays from 6:30-7:20pm HIGH INTERMEDIATE FLAMENCO GARROTIN
Garrotin is influenced by Northern Spain and was adopted by the gitanos in Andalucia. It is danced in a Cordobes hat. The verses are light-hearted and the structure is 4/4 time, similar to that of the Tangos but in a major key. The dance sequences require dexterity as we are using the hat as a prop. Students must have their own hat and have complete 4 years of training. Feel free to email me if you are not sure what level you should be in. We will be cointuing from last season’s dance but newcomers with ability are welcome.
Tuesdays from 7:30-8:20pm INTER/ADVANCED CLASSICAL CASTANET
This class will work on a classical piece from popular repertoire of Spanish Dance or folkloric dance. Students must be proficient at playing castanets but can still be working towards improving all areas of technique. Turn sequences and stylized movements are covered.

Online Classes in August 5 & 6, 2020
| Last week’s classes were so much fun that I am doing another round of classes this week. Wednesday, August 5 will be an Intermediate level class exploring Bulerias marking and llamadas. Thursday, August 6 will be a Beginner Flamenco class that will include basic technique, arms hands legwork for Tangos flamenco. These classes will be on Zoom and everyone – even lapsed students or those living out of town are welcome to sign up! |
| I have been working my way up to teaching online and it has taken me some time to gather my resources and learn how to work and teach in this online forum. I learned a lot from last week’s classes and hope to improve more each time. Right now, it is best to do these classes in either bare feet or if you are wearing flamenco shoes, that is fine as you will be muted but bear in mind that I will be dancing in bare feet. This is because sound quality was an issue last week. Until I set up the ultimate sound situation, it is best for me to present the drills and choreography this way. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE AS I GAIN PROFICIENCY IN TEACHING ONLINE! Dancing flamenco in barefoot is making a resurgence by many renowned present day flamenco dancers. Ultimately, it will strengthen your feet and allow you to free up your ability to make the legs and feet work properly. When we put our shoes back on, you will see a difference in your sound quality and spend less time being preoccupied with footwork and allow yourself to enjoy the flow and movement of the entire body as you dance flamenco. |

July News
Ritmo Flamenco has started performing again! We were thrilled to perform in the lovely outdoor setting of a private party for esteemed Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan and his family last week. It was a family affair and Roger, Anjelica and I were thrilled to be invited to their home to do an intimate one-hour performance for a select number of guests (under 10). Upcoming performances will be taking us to Kingston, Collingwood and Prince Edward County for July and August. We will keep you posted!
