Thursday, August 27, 2015
11:45 am - 1:15 pm

Audition for the Flamenco Repertory (DANCE 462), which performs at November Dances 2015. Carlota Santana, renowned Flamenco artist, will be the choreographer and instructor. There will be a preparatory class to prepare for the audition on Tuesday, Aug 25 at 11:45-1:15 in the Ark. In this repertory course, you will be learning the flamenco form (palo), Alegrias, one of the most prominent and exciting of the 12-beat flamenco rhythms, which expresses the joy of the Andalusian peoples and their courage as they resist any attempt to quench their spirit. Students will learn the braceo (arm work), escobilla (footwork), and the complex and nuanced response of the dancer to the singing. Students who are advanced dancers in other forms than flamenco are encouraged to audition for this repertory. For this performance you will have the wonderful opportunity to work with two professional flamenco musicians, a singer and guitarist, when you perform on stage. For the most part, the costumes will be taken from the wardrobe of Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana.
