This Flamenco performance features dance and music in a vibrant and entertaining production full of color, rhythms, and emotions. Performance pieces are intermixed with age-appropriate audience participation and informative explanations about the geography, culture and history of Southern Spain and Flamenco. Students learn complex rhythms and how to play las palmas (rhythmic hand clapping), las castañuelas (castanets), and they learn how to execute Flamenco dance techniques such as braceo (arm-work) and zapateo (footwork). At the end of the production they are invited to join the artists on stage to do a short Flamenco dance routine.
