The Urban Flamenco dance style is based on the idea that an old tradition can be enjoyed in a modern environment, sound and feel.
In my Urban Flamenco classes and workshops, we only focus on certain motifs of traditional flamenco dance, with a greater emphasis on exploring and experiencing modern street dance styles (hip-hop, funky, reggaeton, jazz, waacking).
We dance in sneakers or barefoot, develop body awareness through isolation and body-focused exercises, and choreograph to inspiring Spanish or Latin pop songs that, while bearing the hallmarks of contemporary street dance, also evoke the spirit of flamenco dance.
