This is an introductory class where students can learn fun flamenco forms and get grooving.

Each class includes a warm up followed by learning choreography in rumbas, tangos or bulerias . All ages and abilities are welcome!

In 2021 Clinard Dance collaborated on a music and dance exchange between with Nino de los Reyes. We created new works of music and choreography with song lyrics inspired by interviews with elders from our Pilsen community and elders and youth in Madrid. Here in Chicago, we interviewed Araceli Antonino and guitarist Antonio Santiago (Nono) composed original verses from the interview and guitar accompaniment inspired by the Al Golpe flamenco form. Triana Prats choreographed the composition and this summer we’ll dust it off again to learn. Here’s an excerpt of a traditional Al Glope composition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWXrbhInUGQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE2s9xuOV10
