Taller Flamenco Seville, Day Ten

In our Bulerias lessons we’ve so far concentrated on the steps and the shape of our arms. We seem to start with the most difficult phrase of a section and work backwards, first putting the feet to the music, then arms, body, face and head.

We have also developed various remate. They’re different to the ones I’ve learned before, clap, move, kick – and the clap and move are contra tiempo. They are maddeningly difficult moves. I can hear the compas and clap it but dancing the clap-move kick combination is quite a challenge and adding the hand movements on top even more so.
