Andalusian Flamenco Dance Terms

Description

Flamenco has its own vocabulary, and knowing it makes performances easier to follow. These seven PDF lessons introduce the three pillars of cante, baile and toque and the essential terms a beginner needs, then explain compás, the rhythmic cycle of flamenco.

You also study palos, the different styles, and movement basics such as braceo, floreo and posture. Footwork lessons run from taconeo to escobilla, and the final lesson shows how these elements fit together in a basic flamenco structure. Exercises in a few lessons help you practice the terms. Tables in the PDFs list terms for quick reference.

Who it is for: beginners who want to learn the language and structure of Andalusian flamenco dance.
