Indian & Flamenco: Roots and Rhythm
Indian + Flamenco: Roots and Rhythm
This class explores the rhythmic and expressive connections between Indian dance forms (classical, folk and film) and Flamenco, the traditional Spanish art form rooted in Romani and Andalusian culture. We will build on technique elements from both – rhythm and hand clapping (palmas), hand gestures and arm movements (mudras, floreo/braceo), facial expression (abhinaya), upper body movement, and footwork (tatkar/adavus, zapateado). Using a mix of Indian and Flamenco music, we will explore movement as a means of emotional expression, grounded power, and graceful presence.
All levels and ages are welcome. Hard-soled or dance shoes are helpful to have at hand for rhythmic footwork. Most importantly, we will dance together in a supportive, encouraging space where everyone is welcome.
