The objective of the Spanish Dance program is to teach the four disciplines which comprise Spanish dance: Folklore, Flamenco, Classical Spanish, and Escuela Bolera. Through exposure to the dance forms of Spain, students are exposed to different facets of Spanish culture.
Elemental and Introduction Levels: Students are introduced to Spanish dance through games and exercises that develop rhythm and coordination in an entertaining and playful way.
Beginners and Intermediate Levels: Concentration is placed on teaching the fundamental base of Spanish Dance, making students aware of body control and the proper use of space, as well as learning proper footwork (“zapateado”), complex arm movements (“braceo”), and turning techniques/combinations. It is at this level that students are introduced to using castanets as an instrument of percussion.
Advanced Levels: These levels concentrate on perfecting the techniques and interpretation of the dance, introducing elements from other disciplines—such as contemporary dance–which allows the student to express her emotions and develop as a skilled artist.
Ballet for Spanish Dancers: (Ages 10+) Ballet for Spanish Dancers is a class designed for dancers who are registered in Spanish dance, but who do not take Ballet in the Conservatory, to polish and clean their technique and posture through ballet exercises.
