Here’s a tangos combination for you.⁣
⁣
You may use it:⁣
⁣
* As the singer comes to the end of a line of the letra ⁣
* When the singer takes a respiro, a pause⁣
* Or simply as an exercise to practice coordinating contratiempo sounds with fluid body movements.⁣

About the body:⁣

During the first part of the step, hold onto your skirt at the waist and move it slightly to accentuate the hip movements.⁣
Keep the left elbow up at the end.⁣

New Spring Flamenco Classes In Person, Online & On Demand begin this Saturday, March 7th!

All of the classes are hybrid, so you may join in person, online, or on demand.

It’s so much fun to gather in studio with local students and dancers online from across the country and abroad! Saturdays are especially fun when our UK students dance the night away as we dance the day away here. 😉
