Detailed description
This workshop is led by Omayra Amaya with guest flamenco guitarist Roberto Castellon. Roberto will accompany and demonstrate the difference between traditional Solea compositions and falsetas (personal music compositions), breaking down musical structures, patterns, and traditional sections of the dance.
In this workshop, you will explore individual sections of the dance structure and deepen your understanding of the flamenco palo (rhythm) of Solea. The emphasis will focus on:
1. Deepen your understanding of traditional dance and music compositions, structure, styles of cante in Soleares, choreography, and tools for communicating with musicians.
2. Learn the various traditional entrances and exits of the choreography, as well as the music, sequences, and patterns within the context of dance. guitar, and cante.
3. Compose an eloquent escobilla (footwork section) in the choreography, with remates and transition to Bulerias.
4. Build a proper dance structure with sections that allow improvisation for both the dancers and musicians.

Registered students will receive a zoom link for the class and access to the recorded class for 24 hours after the live class.
