Learn Flamenco Dance – Tutorial por Guajira

This short choreographic section is part of a work-in-progress project I'm putting together and documenting along the way. I'm a flamenco dancer in Arizona and one of my favorite parts of the day is sharing my choreographic ideas with you! Dance heals the body and provides joy to the heart.

Included in this dance tutorial is a breakdown of the lower and upper body. This tutorial can be helpful for the advanced dancer and the beginner. I always say, start with the foundational steps and then slowly add your layers, such as the body facings, shape of the arms, hips, shoulders, head facings and floreada. The use of the fan is optional. There's always something to learn. It is my joy to be part of your dance journey.
