Summer Evening In Seville: A Flamenco Sevillanas Workshop with Eve Costarelli

$20 online registration at www.iDanceBoston.com

Sevillanas is a timeless folk-dance from southern Spain that has become virtually synonymous with flamenco.  The Sevillanas  was adopted by the residents of Sevilla (both gypsies and non-gypsies) and merged with their strong flamenco culture to become the most recognizable symbol of the region. Sevillanas are danced by children, teenagers and adults at nightclubs, parties, and most famously at the annual Feria de Abril in Sevilla. Sevillanas is a fun and exciting dance that enlivens any party and is essential in the repertoire of any flamenco dancer and for all who just love the art of flamenco.

This class will introduce the basic steps of Sevillanas and will cover the basic flamenco style, posture, hand, arm, foot placement and rhythm.

Suggested attire:  hard bottomed shoes (no tap shoes please) and a skirt for women.
