Flamenco

Course with José M. Sánchez Moreno

Advanced, complex technical program. Arm and foot techniques, spatial exercises and turning techniques. Choreography: Bambera.
The Bambera comes from Andalusian rural folklore (de bamba ó balanceo - which means "to rock") and was originally sung by the companions of a rocking couple.
The famous singer “la niña de los Peines” gave this Andalusian folklore a sole-like rhythm and sang it in this “compas” (rhythm). Since then, Bambera has been part of the large flamenco family. The rhythm is a 12-note rhythm similar to Solea.
