- The biggest pitfalls flamenco dancers face when learning how to improvise Bulerías Por Fiesta - and what to do about them
- What is the one common pattern that every Bulerías de Jerez letra follows!! (forget feeling frazzled being told the variations are endless - spoiler they're NOT..)
- What is the one basic structure you can follow while on stage to pull off the perfect pataíta EVERY TIME (without feeling terrified)
- How to find THE CAÍDA!! (aka the cues in the music!) When to listen out for it, and how to train your ear to recognise it - so you can hear it in time to do something
I've been helping dancers learn flamenco online for three years now. It's what I love to do.
I started dancing flamenco at the age of 10, and I've studied with many different professional artists and dance studios.
These days, thanks to the internet, it's easy to immerse ourselves in the world of online flamenco as much as we want.
Then we come to a point where we realise that flamenco, unlike other dance styles, is not just about learning choreography 😐
True flamenco is also understanding the cante, the guitarra, the structure of the baile, and how to work with your cuadro.
And that's where I fit in - as a bridge in your understanding of how to improvise and dance Bulerías.
Not so long ago I was standing at the foot of that bridge. With no idea how to cross it. And through a lot of self study and Por Fiesta courses I have been able to 'figure out' this Por Fiesta thing!!
